Melanie Petaway, M.Ed., LPC-S
I hold a B.A. in Psychology from Fisk University, and an M.Ed. in Guidance and Counseling from Texas Southern University
I have over 20 years of experience as a professional counselor serving children, adolescents, adults, and families with a wide range of challenges related to couples, familes and parenting issues. I also work with Helping Professionals (counselors, teachers, caseworkers and etc.) who are experiencing life work balance stressors. My approach to counseling is relational, collaborative and practical.
