Melinda S. Malher, MA, LPCC, BC-DMT, C-SPT (she/her/they) is a therapist, educator, and community organizer based in San Francisco. She previously founded and led the Therapist Book Club, a national book space for helping professionals to gather around literature, ideas, and meaningful conversation. She loves spaces where people can think together, talk about big feelings, and connect through books.
Melinda has spent much of her career in leadership, education, and professional community building, and currently serves in leadership within the American Dance Therapy Association. She teaches, supervises graduate students, and continues to build spaces for learning, reflection, and community connection.
She loves a good book—especially ones with dark feelings, complicated characters, and stories that stay with you long after you finish the last page. She is grateful to live and work in San Francisco, where there is always adventure to be had.
