Clinical Social Worker

Individual Psychotherapy


Melinda W. Schenk, LCSW-C

As a clinical social worker with more than 40 years experience,  I provide individual psychotherapy, with an approach that is pragmatic, positive, practical and eclectic, using tools and techniques from CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, Relaxation exercises, and supportive approaches.

My special focus is with the elderly, adult children of aging parents, life cycle stresses and clients with serious illnesses. I have a special interest in teaching relaxation techniques to my clients to help deal with anxiety, depression, pain and insomnia.

I am licensed in the State of Maryland, and my office is located in Rockville, Maryland.

During the Coronavirus emergency, I only offer Telemental Health/Tele-psychotherapy.  Doxy.me, Zoom, Google Hangout, Google Duo, Facetime, and Skype are all available.

I currently accept Medicare, CareFirst Blue Cross Blue Shield, Magellan and Cigna. Please check with your insurance to confirm coverage.
