Meet Melanie, Therapist and Entrepreneur!

Meet Melanie Taylor, she is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor. She has been a practicing therapist for 10 years and is now the owner of Healing Tree Women's Counseling and Teen Center in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Melanie came to us for her headshot and was an absolute pleasure to meet and work with.

The mission of Healing Tree is to provide healing, expertise, and knowledge so that women gain the self-confidence and inner resources they need to live a healthier and happier daily life. And they are the only women exclusive counselor in Arkansas! They offer a range of services including counseling, therapy intensives, hypnotherapy and EDMR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing).

Melanie has grown her business, I think beyond what she thought possible and has a wonderful group of women as counselors working with her. They have filled an empty place for the community of Fort Smith and are helping more and more every day.

In Melanie's own words:

"I, myself, have had to overcome difficult things in life so I know how it feels to be on the vulnerable side of the couch. I also know how dark and chaotic your inner world can get when you operate from a place of shame instead of self-compassion. I had therapists who helped me find my way out of the darkness which is why I truly believe in the healing and transformative power of therapy. Don’t stay stuck!"
