Melanie Gecili MSW, LISW
Phone: 937- 305 -7301
Melanie�s social work career began in 2003, when she graduated with her MSW, and spent the first decade working in geriatrics with medically fragile, often terminally ill, adults.
First trained in EMDR in 2017, EMDR has been her main clinical modality ever since.
Melanie takes great pride in being unassuming and curious with anyone ready to embark on a healing journey, and believes that by developing and then sustaining healthy routines, we can re-learn how to trust ourselves, and, with time, others and the world.
Enduring the traumatic loss of her daughter, Sage, in 2020, Melanie has adopted a powerful belief from her own journey: that each and every person implicitly desires to heal in their own unique way, and that therapy is a process of discovering and engaging the resources and the paths needed to heal authentically.
Melanie therefore modifies approaches with her clients to best help identify and then active engage client strengths/resources.
In her free time, you will find Melanie enjoys teaching English as a second language, reading, hiking, improving her Spanish, cooking Cuban food, and spending time with her son, Nigel, their dog, Spooky, and their cockatiel, Marcel.
