Joelle Melling

  Life is like a labyrinth sometimes, with twists and turns that can cast doubt on the path forward and confusion on the path behind.  

I see therapy as a safe place to heal, grow, and discover yourself—past, present, and future. In exploring the complex interplay of thought, emotion, relationships, and biology that make you who you are, your opportunities for inner peace and confident interactions with your world flourish. 

I serve both Spanish-speaking and English-speaking clients and am passionate about walking alongside people from diverse cultural backgrounds in their trauma, grief, confidence issues, and other concerns. It would be a privilege to help you on your journey!

My theoretical orientation is primarily psychodynamic, with elements borrowed from CBT, DBT, and Bowenian therapy. I am Taylor-Johnson Temperamental Analysis (TJTA) certified.

I am under the supervision of Jon Soileau at Soileau Partners Psychotherapy in Downtown Kansas City, Missouri.
