Melinda D. Reyes, LCSW.
I believe healing begins when we tend to the whole
I'm Melinda D. Reyes, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Mental and Nutrition Clinical Specialist (CMNCS). For years, I've watched clients make meaningful progress in therapy — and then hit a wall that traditional talk therapy couldn't fully address. That's what led me to integrative practice.
At The Reyes Collective, At The Reyes Collective, I use evidence-based therapy to help adults understand the connection between their mental health and overall wellness. I'm trained to identify when nutrition and lifestyle factors may be contributing to what you're experiencing — and to connect you with the right specialists when needed. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, or disordered eating, my work is rooted in curiosity, compassion, and the conviction that real healing is possible..
My approach is collaborative, whole person, and judgment free. I use evidence based therapy as the foundation of our work together, while staying attuned to the ways nutrition, sleep, and lifestyle intersect with mental health.
I don't believe in working in silos, so when something falls outside my scope, I lean on a trusted network of providers to make sure you get the care you need. Healing isn't about quick fixes or external rules. It's about reconnecting with what you already know, at a pace that actually lasts.
