About

Melva Hartzog practices an integrative, holistic approach to wellness that recognizes the interconnected roles of mind, body, and spirit in healing. She emphasizes growth across psychosocial areas of life - career, emotions, social connections, and interpersonal relationships - to support lasting change.

As a clinician trained in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, she incorporates Christian- and spiritually-integrated CBT when appropriate, and brings multicultural competence to her work. With a Master of Divinity and professional licensure as a counselor in Pennsylvania, Melva is prepared to address spiritual questions alongside psychological concerns when clients wish to explore faith-based perspectives.

Melva affirms that all people deserve to live fully, free from religious, racial, gender, or sexual biases. She understands that therapy can feel difficult, so she focuses on meeting individuals where they are, offering a warm, non-judgmental, and supportive environment. Her practice reflects the belief that while the past cannot be changed, the future remains within a person’s power.
