Find you. Find freedom. Come alive.
Therapy for Men and Women, Workshops, and Speaking | Nashville, TN
Do you long to come alive?
from alone to known
from lost to passionate
from darkness to hope
We're here to help you to stop "just surviving" and finally deal with the roots of your pain.
You are made for this. You are made to live fully alive and totally free. You are made to be seen, and understood, and delighted in, and whole. Have you gotten a little stuck in your journey towards experiencing these glorious truths about yourself?
​
The fact is, we have all gotten derailed on this journey at one time or another. It's a simple truth owed to the pain of experiencing life: you will get hurt. You may feel alone, or lost, or like you don't belong. You will taste the dark and ugly side of life along the way.
​
Many of us think we want a life without this pain, but in reality the pain itself is a friend on our quest towards really living. Here's the beautifully good news: it is the journey, the quest itself, that leads us all into wholeness. It is your story – from the smallest bumps and bruises to what may seem like insurmountable failure or pain – that holds the key to a life fully lived.
​
Do you want to step into this adventure? Do you long to unlock the truth about who you really are, and learn how to live this incredible life you were made to live?
Often, all we need is someone who has walked before us and can guide us along the way. Through therapy, workshops, and speaking engagements, Come Alive Counseling is here to guide you into the freedom and joy of a life fully lived. Would you invite us to join you on this journey?

Story Workshops
Workshops and Retreats are transformative multi-day experiences that guide participants to a deeper understanding of how their life experiences have shaped them. In this beautiful community, you will explore the difficult places in your life where you have gotten stuck, felt alone, or are unable to experience healing.
Through sharing and processing, group feedback, teaching, experiential exercises, reflection time, and shared meals, you will gain a deeper understanding of yourself and experience growth and healing in ways that group participation can uniquely provide.
Workshops and Retreat topics may include, but are not limited to: The Mother Stories: How We Hunger for More, Knowing Your Story, and The Gifts of Our Feelings. Please contact us here for more information.
"As we enter the places where we lost our name, we are most likely to hear the whisper of our new name... the name God will give us."
Dan Allender
"I called Melanie when I found myself in an unexpected season of life. I needed a neutral and trusted source to unburden all my thoughts, fears, disappointments and emotions. I wasn't sure what counseling would bring or the impact it would have. She simply met me where I was at and journeys with me as I fight for forward progress. I've found acceptance, understanding, confidence and joy that touches every aspect of my life. This was the best gift I could have given myself."
"Seeing Melanie on a regular basis completely changed my life. Meeting with a counselor was really scary for me, because I like everyone I come in contact with to think that I've got it all together. With kindness, gentleness, and a lovingly firm way of not letting me lie to her, Melanie helped me realize truths about my own life and spirit that I'm not sure I would've ever known. The things I learned and the tools I got from my time with Melanie have changed the way I approach all my relationships. I am eternally grateful for her wisdom, guidance, and counsel. Deciding to meet with her on a consistent basis is one of the best decisions I've ever made!”
"Melanie has made a profound impact on my heart, and her counsel has changed my life forever. In one of my deepest and darkest seasons, Melanie shepherded me through learning to understand my emotions and fears; she walked with me from darkness into light, and from brokenness into healing. It’s not her skill or depth of experience that make her a rare gift of a therapist (though they do), it is her essence - a soul marked by grace, truth, and honor. I will forever be grateful for her.”
