    Melanie Lockett, LLMSW

    Limited Licensed Master Social Worker
    Licensed in Elementary Education

    LOCATION: Kalamazoo

    Life consists of many expected and unexpected challenges and trauma. These challenges have the potential to negatively or positively affect us mentally, emotionally, and physically. I believe there are times in our lives when we may need additional support and opportunities to learn strategies for coping with challenges while providing evidence-based therapeutic modalities, unbiased feedback, and support. I believe life’s greatest challenges are best met in a safe environment where you’re empowered to heal from the past and create the future you desire.

    I was born and raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan. I attended Western Michigan University for my bachelor’s degree in elementary education and master’s degree in social work. I also attended Marygrove College for my master’s degree in education. My primary career is in education. This year I completed my 22nd year as an elementary school teacher. I believe my experience as an educator adds to my therapeutic practices with teenagers and their families.

    Therapy is my second career which I absolutely love! This is my 4th year as a therapist. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and spiritual therapy. I provide personalized individual and family therapy. Additionally, I provide therapy for teenagers 16 years and older.

    With a candid and warm therapeutic style, I work with clients to achieve sustainable success within various areas of life and circumstances. I guide a client’s commitment to affirm innate strengths to act skillfully in the present and practice intention for the future.
