Melinda Halpern

Melinda began her therapeutic career as a wilderness instructor for Outward Bound programs and as an adventure-based counseling director for an East Coast residential treatment center.

 Her time spent in the Bend-LaPine and Sisters school districts developed her strong understanding of the critical relationship between schools, children and parents. She is passionate that children and parents have a successful experience socially and academically in their schools.

She believes strongly that there is no single therapy that works for everyone. Melinda enjoys a wide variety of clientele and issues; it is not unusual for Melinda's clients to be seen for anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, ADHD, or an Autism Spectrum Disorder
