Melinda Andre

Melinda Andre is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia who supports individuals and families working through difficult, high-stress situations. With 22 years of experience, she brings a steady, practical approach to concerns such as stress and anxiety, addiction, domestic violence, anger management, and improving overall family wellness. Her background includes extensive work with parenting challenges and with children experiencing behavioral concerns and a range of special needs, with a focus on strengthening family relationships and helping parents and children move toward healthier patterns.

In addition to her clinical work, Melinda has training in transformative mediation for civil matters and domestic relations, which informs her ability to help people navigate conflict, communicate more effectively, and make thoughtful decisions during challenging transitions. She is especially experienced in work related to reunification between parents and children and the complex emotional and relational dynamics that can accompany it.

Melinda’s counseling style emphasizes creating a safe space for open, honest work and meaningful progress. She blends respect and empathy with a structured, goal-oriented process, drawing from cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive counseling methods. Together with each client, she focuses on clear dialogue and forward movement, developing a plan that fits the client’s needs and priorities.

Change can feel intimidating, especially when life has been shaped by ongoing stress or crisis. Melinda works collaboratively to help clients build a stronger sense of control, identify practical steps for change, and move toward improvements that can last.
