Meet the Heart Behind Chasing Hope

Welcome to Chasing Hope Counseling. I’m Melynda Cabrera, M.S, LPC and my passion is empowering women to overcome life's challenges and embrace their full potential. Since 2013, I’ve dedicated my career to helping women build strength, resilience, and confidence through compassionate care.

I am PSI-trained with certifications in grief counseling, specializing in postpartum mental health, grief, and mood disorders. With over 18 years of experience in diverse mental health settings across Connecticut, I work collaboratively with other providers to ensure holistic care, from medication referrals to community support.

My journey to becoming a mental health provider was shaped by the loss of my son, Chase, during the height of the pandemic in 2020. This devastating experience sparked my mission to provide women with the support I never had—creating a space where they can heal, grow, and reclaim their strength.

Chasing Hope Counseling is here to inspire you to become your best self, embracing self-love, resilience, and balance.
