Melanie Ledig, LCSW-C 

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience supporting teens, adults, and families. My career began in Jacksonville, Florida, working with at-risk adolescent girls, and evolved into a long-standing private practice where I support clients dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationships, grief and loss, autism and social skills, social anxiety, parenting, body image, emotional regulation, and trauma.

As a retired military spouse of nearly 30 years and a parent of two sons who graduated from St. Mary’s County Public Schools, I bring both personal and professional insight into the challenges families face. For the past three years, I have served as a school social worker with SMCPS, supporting elementary students and collaborating closely with parents, teachers, counselors, and administrators to help students succeed.

I am passionate about building meaningful connections with my clients and creating a space where they feel safe, supported, and truly understood.  In my free time, I enjoy taking walks, exercising, reading, and spending time with my friends and family.
