Melia Snyder

Dr. Melia Snyder is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Expressive Arts Therapist serving clients in Colorado, North Carolina, and Arkansas via her telehealth therapy practice. Many of her clients have found great success by the world's standards, but feel a sense of emptiness, dread, disconnection or anxiety in their daily lives. Her clients are invested in courageously turning toward the inner Self, a relationship that can catalyze and restore a sense of meaning, manageability, and sanity to daily life.

Dr. Snyder views mental health symptoms not in a pathological sense but as signs that, if carefully listened to, contain great wisdom about how to live. Often, she finds that her clients have unresolved grief, trauma and unmet needs that block the individual's natural health, wholeness and vitality. Their system may be irritated due to playing an inauthentic role or not stepping fully into a necessary developmental phase or transition.

Dr. Snyder is an depth psychotherapist meaning that she addresses the root of the issue, the heart of the matter without getting distracted by the weeds of symptoms and problem-saturated stories. She integrates mindfulness-based and expressive arts approaches to support self-awareness and in-sight and to give voice and expression to the unseen forces that drive behavior and shape lives. By making the unconscious conscious through practices such as dreamwork, active imagination, and connection with nature, clients find an intrinsic source of freedom that can provide a foundation for embodying one's unique place in the family of things.
