About Melissa

Melissa has been working as a therapist in New York City for over 10 years, helping clients gain greater insight into themselves in order to reach their full potential.

Her Mission

Melissa believes that everyone can benefit from therapy. There is a certain clarity that comes when you understand how your past contexts impact your current functioning. Melissa believes that effective therapy can eventually put the therapist out of a job. In order to achieve this, Melissa works hard with her clients to build on their strengths towards a path of self-sufficiency.

Her Style

Melissa’s therapeutic style is active and collaborative in the conversation. She builds trusting relationships with her clients that serve as the catalyst towards positive change. During sessions, Melissa is supportively direct: acknowledging and validating clients, while guiding them to shed the thoughts and behaviors that are no longer serving them. Melissa’s clients would describe her as nonjudgmental, warm and down-to-earth.
