Jessie is a frequent contributor to our blog! These are some of her posts…

A Sense of Mattering

Mattering is the profound recognition that our lives are intertwined with each other and more connected than we think. To matter signifies that our thoughts, actions, feelings and choices have a lasting impact, leaving a trace and/or legacy behind us, in the next generation passed down through our children.

The Strength of Spirituality

Although religion and spirituality have been synonymous throughout history, in the last couple of decades spirituality has detached itself as a separate entity and therefore can sometimes be overlooked. As this distinction has become more apparent, research has grown to show the benefits of spirituality in an individual’s health.

Letting Go

What does it mean to let go? How do we do it? What are the benefits of letting go? I hope that these questions will spark a curiosity in us to search for these answers because letting go can be a tremendous life skill in our growth, in our lives, and our relationships. Similar to spring cleaning, if there are emotional and mental loads that no longer serve us well, we can begin to let go.

About Dr. Melanie Watson

Dr. Melanie Watson received her Ph.D. in Educational Psychology (with a concentration in School Psychology) from Arizona State University. Currently a registered psychology associate working towards licensure, she also holds school psychologist certifications both nationally (NCSP) and through the Maryland State Department of Education. In addition, she is certified in cross-battery assessment (XB-C) and holds degrees in both Special Education (M.Ed.) and Child Development (B.S.). Dr. Watson has worked with children ranging in age from 4 months through high school.

Dr. Watson has spent 26 years working in public schools in Maryland as well as Arizona, Utah, and Ohio. After spending some time teaching students with special needs, Dr. Watson transitioned to the role of school psychologist, where she provided consultation in addition to conducting psychological assessments for the purpose of special education eligibility.

At Orchard Mental Health Group, Dr. Watson specializes in psychological assessments and has expertise in understanding the kinds of difficulties that interfere with a child’s ability to function both in and out of school. While she conducts assessments with children and adolescents of a variety of ages, she is particularly interested in and knowledgeable about the learning, behavioral, social-emotional, and developmental struggles of younger children.

Professionally, Dr. Watson is interested in Learning Disorders (including Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, and Dyscalculia), Intellectual Disabilities, Autism Spectrum Disorders, ADHD, childhood emotional difficulties, and other behavior disorders. She is also interested in issues related to bilingual children, children of minority status, children who are “twice-exceptional,” as well as others that do not easily fit into any category. She enjoys figuring out the “puzzle” that each child presents to the world.

Client Feedback

In the months leading up to my appointment at [Orchard Mental Health Group], I struggled with numerous psychiatric practitioners. My experience with OMHG was seamless and positive. Joy Okeke was the practitioner I met with. She was extremely thorough and professional to the end. I was treated in a manner that has left me trusting them and feeling positive about the process.
