Melinda Paige

Melinda’s person-centered approach to trauma recovery honors the strength and resiliency of survivors. She views her clients as experts of their unique experiences and has confidence in their ability to recover from trauma & stress-related conditions. She uses approaches including EMDR and clinical hypnosis, ensuring that clients remain present and grounded throughout the therapeutic session. Traumatic memory is reprocessed and stored in the “done file.” Negative thoughts, behaviors, and/or emotions are eliminated since they are no longer needed for survival. What remains is an increased capacity for presence and growth. Melinda Paige earned a Ph.D in Counselor Education and Practice and an Ed.S in Professional Counseling from Georgia State University. She has twenty years of clinical experience serving survivors of trauma as well as trauma mental health training and consultation experience. Melinda Paige is the founder of the Trauma Competency Institute. Post-traumatic stress injury is a treatable medical condition. Treatment is solution-focused and painless so that suffering in silence from an invisible wound is no longer necessary for survivors.
