Melinda Newman , LCPC, LPCC

Melinda Newman is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who brings five years of experience working in community mental health settings. Early in her career she provided in-home services for children and families, helping to strengthen supports that kept youths safely at home and reduced the need for higher levels of care.

Her practice centers on collaboration - identifying barriers, clarifying personal goals, and building on strengths to support meaningful change. She aims to create a compassionate, welcoming, and supportive environment in which clients can explore coping strategies, process difficult experiences, and work toward becoming their fuller selves. Melinda emphasizes practical tools and skills that fit into daily life while remaining attentive to each client’s individual story.

Melinda holds the credentials LCPC and LPCC. These are state-level licenses that indicate advanced training and authorization to provide professional mental health counseling. Based in Montana, she draws on evidence-informed methods to support people facing stress, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, parenting concerns, anger, low self-esteem, and other life adjustments.
