More about Melissa
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- Psychologist
I am NYS Licensed Psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with clients with a wide range of concerns including, depression, anxiety, substance abuse and other addictions, stress, and general life concerns.
My approach to therapy is that of teamwork. My main goal is to build a therapeutic alliance and work collaboratively with my clients, alongside each other, as two experts coming together. I like to meet my clients where they are at. People enter into therapy for a myriad of reasons. It is important to me, as a therapist, to fully understand your personal reasons and work from there to build a greater understanding of your concerns and your goals.
While I tend to use approaches such as cognitive-behavioral and dialectical behavioral therapies, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, client-centered and interpersonal therapies, and solution-based treatments, I let my client's needs and goals drive my primary approach. I welcome feedback as treatment goes along so that we can change the focus or type of treatment as needed. Remember, we are a team!
I believe your willingness to seek support is setting the foundation for a happier life. I hope that we can take that journey together.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
