Melanie Schwindt
LPC-Associate, NCC
Online & In-Person
Hello!  I am a recent (May 2019) graduate of the Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Texas A&M University-Central Texas. I graduated from the same school in 2016 with a Bachelors of Science in Psychology.  I specialized in child and adolescents throughout my school career.  For my internship, I completed hours at Cedar Crest Hospital and RTC, working with children, adolescents, and adults.  Upon graduation I got a full time job at the same hospital on the adult unit.  I became adept at working with those with schizophrenia, Bipolar, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and Borderline Personality Disorder.  I also am very experienced and knowledgeable at working with those with ADHD, autism, and various learning and developmental delays. I enjoy using a person centered approach that focuses on the person’s strength and ability to manage their daily living through skills taught in therapy.  However, I enjoy research and drawing on many other modalities to provide the treatment that would best benefit the client. I am currently an LPC-Associate/NCC, but I am less than 300 hours away from full licensure. I have experience both with the short term hospital therapy and the more chronic long term therapy aspects, having seen several clients.  I have transitioned to private practice, where I see patients both in person and via telehealth. I currently cannot accept insurance because I do not have my full license yet, but I do accept cash payment.

How can you provide care remotely?
I provide care remotely through secure telehealth sessions, offering the same personalized and compassionate treatment you would receive in-person. This allows for flexible scheduling and the convenience of receiving care from the comfort of your own home, while maintaining high-quality, confidential support.
Having been diagnosed with ADHD myself, I am deeply passionate about helping both children and adults manage ADHD and various other mental health challenges. I earned my Doctorate of Nursing Practice in 2023 from Palm Beach Atlantic University in West Palm Beach, Florida, after receiving my Master’s in Nursing from the same institution in 2021. My interest in psychiatry was ignited during my nursing student rotations in St. Louis, Missouri, where I witnessed firsthand the struggles individuals faced in accessing mental health care across the United States. My experiences in the healthcare systems of St. Louis, Atlanta, West Palm Beach, and now Seattle have highlighted the pressing demand for psychiatric providers, as the waitlist to see a provider remains lengthy. This motivated me to establish my own practice in Washington state, aiming to provide accessible mental health resources, diagnoses, and medication management. My goal is to deliver quick access to resources to support both adolescents and adults. In my leisure time, I enjoy hiking, walking, appreciating nature, sports, and reading. *Specialties •Mental Health •Adult Psychiatry •Child Psychiatry *Conditions treated •Depression •Anxiety •PTSD •ADHD •Mood disorders •Anxiety disorders •Behavioral issues *Treatment philosophy It’s essential for us that our clients get personalized care right at the comfort of their own home, without the sacrifice of quality care. Dr. Patel takes a client centered approach, each client is individualized and treatment plans are based on specific client needs, symptoms, and illnesses. A holistic approach is looking at a person in their entirety and not just looking at one specific problem, Dr. Patel will provide guidance and tips on how to best help your mental health outside of just taking medication. *Treatment approach •Person-Focused •Mindfulness-Based(MBCT) •Motivational Interviewing •Holistic approach •Culturally Sensitive *Practice description At our private psychiatric practice, our mission is to provide compassionate, individualized, and evidence-based mental health care to our patients.

How can you provide care remotely?
I offer remote care through secure virtual sessions, allowing clients to access support from anywhere. This flexibility ensures consistent and convenient access to mental health and addiction care, whether for brief check-ins or ongoing treatment. Through remote care, I can help clients navigate their recovery journey while addressing their unique needs in a safe, supportive environment.
I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner with additional training and experience in treating addiction. My time spent helping people deal with dependency and mental health issues has made me passionate about guiding those with addictions through recovery and into a more stable life. As addiction and mental health are most often related, treating them together is an approach that I have found is an effective path to emotional wellbeing. Being dual board-certified in Psychiatry and Adult/Geriatrics along with many years treating the incarcerated has shown me the effectiveness of my safe and non-judgemental approach. Whether you need someone to speak with for just a few minutes or desire something long-term contact me and we will work together to help you find the life you want! TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY: My treatment philosophy is rooted in a client-focused approach, prioritizing each individual's unique needs, strengths, and goals. I strive to create a supportive, collaborative environment where clients feel heard and empowered to actively participate in their healing journey. Through compassionate, personalized care, I am dedicated to helping clients achieve lasting mental wellness.
