Melba Mathew, LMFT, founder of Rising Tide Family Therapy

Hi, I’m Melba

I founded Rising Tide Family Therapy on the idea that individual healing and collective well-being aren’t separate projects.

Good therapy should have a ripple effect and contribute to lifting the conditions for healing beyond ourselves. The work you do on a deeply personal scale is never selfish because it has the power to impact the people and dynamics you belong to. You are the tide, therapy is the harbor.

To learn more about my background and what brought me to this work, see the about page and my therapist profile.
