Mellaney D. Edwards, MSW, LISW-S
Founder | Clinical Social Worker | Therapist
I founded Thrive Therapy & Wellness with a commitment to creating a space where individuals navigating anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflict, behavioral challenges, and life transitions feel supported — not judged.
My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and respected. A space where you can speak freely, explore honestly, and grow at your own pace.
My approach is rooted in compassion and guided by evidence-based practices. I integrate practical tools with meaningful insight, helping you not only understand your experiences but also develop skills you can apply in everyday life.
Together, we will:
• Explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck
• Build coping strategies that feel realistic and sustainable
• Strengthen emotional resilience
• Foster greater self-compassion and confidence
Healing is not about “fixing” you. It’s about uncovering your strengths, deepening your self-awareness, and creating space for lasting change.
More Than Coping — Cultivating a Life That Feels Meaningful
Thriving is not about constant happiness. It is about:
• Building emotional resilience
• Strengthening self-awareness
• Creating sustainable coping strategies
• Developing boundaries
• Making empowered decisions
• Living in alignment with your values
It is about waking up and feeling capable. It is about responding rather than reacting. It is about choosing growth, even when it feels uncomfortable.
I will gently challenge you when needed, support you consistently, and celebrate your growth along the way. Therapy is a collaborative journey — and I am honored to walk alongside you.
