MIRANDA MELQUIST, LSW

LICENSED SOCIAL WORKER AT NURTRINSE 

HELLO,

As a woman and a mother I understand how you can feel overflowing with love while feeling so full of responsibility that you are about to break.  My personal experiences and professional training has led me to this work. I am passionate about strengthening the women and mothers in the world. It is my privilege to accompany you as you begin to heal and find your inner strengths.  I believe that supporting women in all areas of their life will create change for future generations.

I am a licensed social worker. I received my Bachelors in Sociology and my Masters of Social Work from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. Most of my work has been with families since that time.  I am intensively trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to treat depression, anxiety, and address trauma symptoms. I am also trained in Maternal Mental Health. The most common complication of pregnancy and child birth is a mental health issue. It’s ok to not be ok! I offer support and skills to help you deal with strong emotions during this time (or at any time during your journey as a parent).  In addition, I am in certified in Mindfulness and truly believe that bringing a mindfulness practice (however a formal practice or small amounts through the day) into your life will bring you more peace and calm.

In a warm and attentive manner, I will help you work through what is holding you back. You will find my office peaceful and relaxed. Again, I am privileged to support you during this difficult time and hope to hear from you soon. You can reach me at the office phone number or through email if you would feel more comfortable starting there.

with love,
Miranda
