Melanie Caron-Vlasak, MSW, LCSW

Hello! My name is Melanie.

As a former school social worker & therapist, I understand the demands and pressures today's youth are under. For the past 23 years, I have been working with children and adolescents and am passionate about giving them the skills they need to cope with the ups and downs of life.

My approach to therapy includes traditional talk therapy as well as the incorporation of games, art, writing, and/or music given each individual's learning or processing style.  I also equip families with the tools and resources they need to support their children.

I grew up in beautiful Upper Michigan and then spent an additional 20 years in Minneapolis, MN, where I earned my Master’s Degree in Social Work from Augsburg University.

In my free time, I enjoy baking, cooking, listening to Podcasts, kayaking, and spending time with my family, friends, and sweet pup.
I welcome the opportunity to be a part of your story!
