Melody Nadeau

Melody Nadeau, LCSW, LISW-CP/S, is an EMDRIA Approved Consultant and Certified EMDR Therapist offering consultation to therapists nationwide and EMDR therapy to clients in Oregon and South Carolina. She practices through a psychodynamic and mind-body lens, with a focus on helping individuals who have experienced trauma — whether a single incident or complex, repeated experiences — reconnect with themselves and address unresolved distress at its root.

As a therapist, Melody works with individuals whose nervous systems have been overwhelmed by highly distressing experiences, helping them learn to manage the present while working through underlying and unresolved trauma. She believes in holistic care around mind, body, and spirit, and emphasizes that adaptive behaviors developed in response to trauma are not signs of weakness but of survival. Her approach is affirming, judgment-free, and grounded in genuine transparency and humor, with a calming presence that clients frequently note.

As a consultant, Melody supports fellow therapists in noticing what they bring to the therapeutic space as humans, encouraging curiosity over self-judgment. She helps clinicians who feel stuck — whether in applying EMDR techniques or navigating their own reactions in session — to grow in skill and confidence. She also offers EMDR intensives as a faster, more concentrated format for trauma processing.

In addition to her clinical and consultation work, Melody holds an academic appointment at the University of South Carolina, bringing scholarly depth to her practice. She maintains a primary location in Hood River, Oregon, and an additional location in Greenville, South Carolina, with telehealth available throughout South Carolina.
