Melanie Rodgers
Peer Support
Hello and blessings! I’m Melanie Rodgers, excited to embark on my journey as a Peer Support Specialist. With 20 years of experience in education as a teacher’s assistant and Youth Transition Program Specialist, I’m eager to bring my skills to this new role.
I am passionate about supporting individuals of all ages, both individually and in groups, to enhance their social and emotional well-being. My mission is to offer hope and help clients envision a meaningful life. I aim to empower others by recognizing their strengths and guiding them on their path to recovery with empathy and a non-judgmental approach.
I have recently earned my certification as a Peer Support Specialist from Rogue Community College, and hold additional certifications in Motivational Interviewing (MI), Person-Centered Plan Facilitation, and Non-Violent Crisis Intervention (NVCI).
Outside of work, I cherish time with my husband, three adult children, and six grandchildren. I am actively involved in my church’s leadership team and contribute to Purely His ministry. My personal experiences and beliefs deeply influence my commitment to supporting others with compassion and understanding.
I look forward to building meaningful connections and creating an environment where everyone feels valued and supported. Together, we can work towards healing, growth, and a brighter future.
Michaela Skye
Professional Counselor Associate
As a dedicated long-term resident of the Rogue Valley, I deeply cherish our vibrant community. I am impassioned by the belief in each individual’s innate capacity for growth, learning, and healing.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in the conviction that every person possesses unique strengths and potential. Drawing from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Person-Centered, and Solutions-Focused Therapy, I tailor my interventions to suit the specific needs of my clients.
My mission is to empower individuals to cultivate meaning and purpose in their lives through the application of therapeutic tools and techniques. Together, we embark on a journey of exploration, delving into the intricacies of relationships, past experiences, emotions, behavioral patterns, and desired outcomes. Through collaborative dialogue and goal setting, we will work collaboratively toward achieving your desired therapeutic goals.
With a rich background of working with diverse demographics and cultural backgrounds, I welcome individuals of all ages, genders, and walks of life into my practice. By fostering a safe and inclusive environment, I am committed to providing personalized support and guidance as we navigate the complexities of the human experience together.
Let’s embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth, where together, we can unlock your full potential and pave the way towards a more fulfilling and empowered life.
