A note from Melanie

I have a Master’s Degree in Social Work (MSW) from New York University and have over 15 years experience in clinical practice with adults, children, and families. I am an LGBTQ+ and neurodiversity affirmative, trauma-informed clinician who works with adults and children. With a strong emphasis on empathy, compassion, and respect for your unique life experiences, I provide a therapeutic space that is safe, non-judgmental, and trauma-informed. 

Therapy should be a place where you can be your truest self, without judgement. It is also a place to explore difficult and sometimes painful experiences.  I view therapy as a collaborative process in which we work together to navigate your life challenges. Whether it’s managing anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or the lingering effects of childhood trauma, I strive to maintain a safe and open space where we will use curiosity and compassion to identify and build upon your strengths. I approach therapy from an intersectional, social justice framework with an emphasis on how systemic factors influence and challenges us as individuals. 

If you think we might be a good fit, please reach out to schedule a free consultation with me.
