Melony Kolody - The Healing Cottage of the CSRA

Recognizing the uniqueness of every individual and empathizing with the struggles they face on their path to healing of mind, body, and spirit, I diligently pursue additional training in therapeutic modalities. This commitment enables me to tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each client I serve. With a deep understanding of the effects of trauma on the heart, body, and mind, I am keenly aware of how these experiences can significantly influence the dynamics of relationships. Drawing upon expertise and discernment, I equip individuals and couples with tools and resources to help them on a journey of healing. On this journey you can find healing from past wounds, uncover solutions for present challenges, and acquire essential skills for a future filled with healthy, emotional intimacy, and effective communication. I have a passion for counseling people who have been victims of Sexual Trauma, and those who have Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), low self-esteem, and shame. I have had the privilege of closely collaborating with and receiving training from Dr. Roger Boehm D.C.C PH.D., a specialist in DID and SRA therapies. Driven by a passion to empower individuals to overcome the "ashes" of life and embrace a life of abundance, in my late 40s I embarked on a transformative journey of my own and returned to college. I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BA in counseling and then Magna Cum Laude with an MA in Clinical Pastoral Counseling from Colorado Theological Seminary. I have 27 years of teaching, mentoring, public speaking, youth, and women's ministry, as well as layman and professional counseling and coaching experience. I wrote an in-depth curriculum to help people find their Spiritual Gifts and use them in and outside the Church. This curriculum published as an interactive workbook in March 2024. I believe my passion for my work shines through every interaction, in a trauma-informed and attachment-centered approach, I help clients find hope and restoration moving from a life of surviving to thriving. www.MelonyKolody.com
