The Other Side of Over
Therapy for women who are tired of overthinking, overexplaining, and overachieving.
You can run a house, lead a company, handle a crisis, and still freeze when someone asks what you want. You’ve spent years figuring out what everyone else needs. Let’s make room for what you need, too.
Individual therapy and therapy intensives with Melanie Taylor, LPC-S.
In person in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Virtual therapy in Arkansas, Arizona, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Minnesota, and Ohio.
BOOK A FREE CONSULT
You can read the room. Let’s make some room for you.
You notice the change in someone’s voice. You know when they’re disappointed. You start thinking about how to make things better before anyone has asked.
Then you replay the conversation. You add another explanation to your no. You do a little more, give a little more, and wonder whether you’ve done enough.
It can be hard to hear yourself when you’re so practiced at listening for everyone else.
In therapy, we make room for your needs, your boundaries, your feelings, and the person you are when you aren’t busy holding everything together.
The other side of over is You Are For.
You are for loving, protecting, respecting, comforting, and celebrating. You are for rest. You are for support. You are for having a life that makes room for you.
That belief lives underneath my work. Together, we can explore what keeps pulling you into the same patterns and practice responding with more care for yourself.
WAYS TO WORK WITH ME
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Ongoing support for the patterns that show up in everyday life: the guilt after setting a boundary, the conversation you keep replaying, or the needs you keep putting last.
50-minute sessions | $250 self-pay
THERAPY INTENSIVES
Sometimes 50 minutes isn’t enough. Intensives give us extended time to stay with something important, with room to prepare, work, pause, and bring the session to a close.
In-person and virtual options | $275 per hour
90-minute intensive intake | $300
BUSINESS COACHING
Have a book, practice, website, training, or offer you keep thinking about? Bring the actual thing. We’ll look at what’s getting in the way and work on the next step together.
60-minute sessions | $275
Business coaching is separate from psychotherapy.
HI, I’M MELANIE.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor, Certified Heart-Centered Hypnotherapist, author, and therapist trainer in Fort Smith, Arkansas.
Much of my work focuses on childhood and complex trauma and how those experiences can keep showing up in adult relationships, boundaries, identity, and the way we treat ourselves.
My approach is warm, curious, active, and very human. We may talk, use EMDR, explore parts of self, work with imagery, or use expressive activities. What we use depends on you and what we’re working on.
And yes, sometimes we’re going to laugh.
FOR THERAPISTS
I also teach therapists who want more ways to work with what happens in the room. Explore experiential interventions, personalized training, and continuing education opportunities.
Continuing education is offered through the Center for Emotional Enlightenment, NBCC Approved Continuing Education Provider #7479.
You were created to be loved.
My books explore survival, repair, and what it means to make room for yourself after years of living around everyone else.
You don’t have to explain it perfectly to begin.
You can start with what keeps happening, what you’re tired of carrying, or what you want to feel different. A free consult gives us a chance to talk about what you’re looking for and whether working together makes sense.
Currently accepting telehealth therapy clients physically located in ARKANSAS, ARIZONA, GEORGIA, INDIANA, LOUISIANA, MINNESOTA, and OHIO.
