Going through the motions, but it feels as if there is a hole in your heart?
You’re doing your best to move forward, but the empty feeling just won’t go away.
Tears unexpectedly role down your cheeks.
Will anyone ever see me?
Hello! I’m Melodi Kitzmiller.
I remember learning that my childhood had not been like everyone else’s. I felt shocked and stunned, not realizing how much my abuse had changed my life.
Childhood trauma can leave children unable to learn like they would if they did not have this amount of stress. Childhood friendships are not as productive as they would be if the trauma were not present. Self-image is distorted, and the child’s perception of self can become negative. Not to mention the anxiety and sadness that comes as a product of the stressors.
Because of my own experiences, my mission is to walk with others who have experienced the devastation of childhood neglect and abuse (emotional, physical, sexual, and spiritual abuse). I believe we can heal from childhood wounds and thrive in life.
I offer Christian Mental Health Coaching. Each time I work on my home page, I am hesitant to add Christian because so many people have been hurt by scripture or what others believe, so before you click the exit button, let me explain. I have been hurt by words from the Bible and the stinging slap of judgment, so my promise to you is that you will NEVER experience that with me. I do life from a Christian worldview; in fact, I don’t know how I would have survived life without Jesus. However, I believe that Jesus gave every individual He met the ability to choose completely if they would acknowledge Him and believe or not. You can expect that I will always honor your wishes as I believe that He does.
Furthermore, I am a member of the American Association of Christian Counselors and abide by their ethical guidelines, which include protecting your choice when it comes to faith.
It would be an honor to speak with you today, so that we can begin your journey toward the life that you desire.

With a background in clinical trauma counseling and the experiences of my own path to healing, I can guide you through the maze of healing.

Individual Coaching
Every client has unique needs and difficulties, so each client is given an individualized plan for meeting their goals. Sometimes we will cry together, and other times, we will celebrate wins, but we will always work to meet your goals.
Whatever area of healing we are in, you will always find a grace-filled space to wrestle with the issues at hand. I will offer insight and help you understand why trauma could be the culprit, and I will bring many skills to your work, but in the end, you are the expert on you.
You will also be given research-proven coping strategies to mitigate anxiety, foggy brain, interpersonal problems, depressive symptoms, and more.

My Services….
Speaking, Teaching, Training
From classes on mental health awareness to events and non-profit gatherings, I am always delighted to share knowledge about trauma and mental health from a Christian worldview.
Our communities need people who understand spiritual and mental health needs and know how they can excellently help with gentleness. Is your church ready to begin a coaching program? I can help you from start to finish.
Jesus said, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.” I pray for laborers who want to garner excellent skills and holistically help.
Let’s connect and see how I can help you make your new ministry or event successful.
