Melanie Bellew

Hello, my name is Melanie, and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW). I graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington in 2020 with a master’s degree in social work with a discipline in Substance Use and Mental Health. I have a sincere passion for helping others through difficult times and offering them a safe space to be themselves. I know it is difficult to talk about our problems, and when needed, I like to add a touch of humor to lighten things up.

By utilizing different treatment modalities and interventions, I aid in teaching basic life skills, coping with trauma, depression and anxiety, substance use addiction, abuse and neglect, grief and loss, ADHD, school truancy, and life transitions.

I have worked extensively with justice-involved populations, those suffering from substance use disorders, and populations involved with the Department of Children and Family Service. I have experience and enjoy working with people of all ages and populations from diverse backgrounds, including LGBTQ, by providing talk therapy, solution-focused therapy (SFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Centered Treatment (FCT) interventions, Psychoeducation, and Strengths-Based Therapy. 

I believe that YOU are the expert on YOU, and therefore, your opinions about treatment and what you are or aren’t comfortable with are very important to me. I look forward to working with you and providing you with your safe space.
