“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.”


Hi there!

Headshot of Melanie Coates.

Welcome to my website! I'm Melanie, a writer, poet, and therapist with a passion for helping Christian women overcome anxiety through the love and care of God.

As a Christian myself, I understand the unique challenges and struggles that come with trying to live a faithful life in a world that can often be overwhelming and anxiety-inducing. That's why I've dedicated my career to helping women like you find peace and calm through a deeper connection with God.

In addition to my work as a therapist, I'm also pursuing an EdD in community care and counseling with a trauma cognate. This specialized training allows me to offer even more effective and compassionate care to my clients.

When I'm not working or studying, you can find me enjoying a cup of coffee, munching on some popcorn, or indulging my love for all things peace and purple. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to combine my passion for writing, poetry, and therapy to help Christian women overcome anxiety and find peace. I hope to connect with you soon!
