About

The Healing Cottage of the CSRA- Melony Kolody, BA Counseling, MA Clinical Pastoral Counselor, CCTP-II – Pastoral Counselor

I am a private practice pastoral counselor serving clients in and around Evans, Georgia. As your counselor, it is my priority to create a therapeutic atmosphere that promotes growth and positive change, for you. I look forward to working with you to address your challenges and realize your goals. Intentional Counseling is a process that can move you toward being the healthiest version of yourself and living the life you desire.

Treatment Approach

I use a variety of approaches to address my clients unique needs. Utilizing a foundation of Christian EMDR, emotionally focused, somatic tools to help sustain the growth experienced in regular sessions.

Additionally, there is a growing body of research that supports the practice of self-compassion and mindfulness in psychotherapy. Neuroscience research reveals individuals that practice these techniques are happier, more resilient, and better equipped to heal painful memories from the past. It is my honor and mission to help my clients move past what’s blocking them from reaching their full potential individually and in their relationships.

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”
