Dr. Elizabeth A. Mellin

I offer insurance-accessible therapy for people navigating the crossroads of chronic illness and trauma. Trauma can take root in many places: childhood neglect, family conflict, abuse, medical misogyny, religious harm, or years of feeling dismissed, disbelieved, or unsafe. While trauma doesn’t directly cause chronic illness, it can disrupt the nervous and immune systems—fueling inflammation, heightening pain sensitivity, and compounding symptoms over time. These experiences often overlap, living in the same body, the same system. Therapy offers space to reconnect with yourself, untangle confusion, and rebuild trust in your body.
