Hi, I'm Melissa! (she/her), and I am a Queer, Latinx, Cisgender, Therapist. I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ & BIPOC communities and the mental health struggles that are unique to them. Many of the clients I work with come to therapy with a history of trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders and gender dysphoria. Some folx also struggle with low self esteem, body image issues, shame/guilt around sexuality and gender identity, difficulty connecting with others, motivation and other stressors such as work and home life. I provide a kind, non-judgemental, supportive environment for all my clients and work from an anti-oppressive, anti-racist, trauma-informed lense. My goal is to use the power of real human connection to build trust and empower my clients throughout the therapeutic process. Deciding to come to therapy is an awesome first step toward the inner healing you deserve. When you are ready, reach out so we can talk and find out if we are a good fit for one another. Come. As.

I’m a caring, outdoor loving, problem solving person at heart. I’m passionate about helping others feel alive, confident and encouraged. I have found many tools along my professional and personal journey to support people in managing painful emotions, de-escalating family and partner conflict and living a life informed, not run, by emotions. I’ve experienced how strong and complicated, messy and beautiful families can be. I’ve also seen how trauma, seemingly “small” or “large,” can affect a person and those closest to them, how it can empower and debilitate. Emotions can be confusing and they can also help cultivate our strengths. When it comes to facing painful emotions, people can sometimes feel alone, scared and hopeless, with nowhere to turn. There are resources, places, people and skills that can help. You don’t have to do this alone. I want you to know that it’s possible to find comfort and hope in the midst of loss, trauma, conflict or whatever challenge you may be facing. While I believe one of the most important factors in making therapy work for you is how you connect with your therapist, it’s also important you be given the tools and care to move you toward your goals. All too often I’ve seen how discouraged people become by mental health care and it’s my goal to provide a service that is routed in effective methods and treatment and a genuine, caring space for you to share and shape your story. I am committed to helping individuals and families get “unstuck” and lead you toward experiencing joy, genuine connection, hope and the ability to access your strengths, passions and resources. No matter what your age, socio-economic status, religion, race, sexual orientation, gender identity or culture, mental health can affect us all; and sometimes these factors can unfairly make it even more challenging to navigate. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for everyone to talk and heal.
College can be exciting, but it can also bring a lot of stress, pressure, and big transitions. Whether you're struggling with your mental health, navigating friendships or family dynamics, or just trying to figure out who you are and where you're headed, therapy can help. I’m an experienced therapist who works with college students and young adults in a supportive, non-judgmental space. My approach integrates cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness tools, and insight-oriented work to help you build self-awareness, manage stress, improve relationships, and feel more confident in yourself. I also have specialized training in working with trauma and chronic stress, and I help clients make sense of the past so they can feel better in the present and create a meaningful path forward. I've worked with individuals from many different backgrounds, and I tailor each session to your unique needs and goals. If you're thinking about therapy—or even if you're not sure—reach out for a free phone consultation. We can talk about what’s going on and see if we’re a good fit.

My work is grounded in liberation psychology and cultural humility. Who you are, your race, gender, spirituality, family history, community ties, and the systems you navigate every day, and your relationship to power is not background information. It is central to the work. You will not need to minimize, explain away, or translate your experience here. My approach is integrative. I draw from Internal Family Systems, Multicultural Family Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, embodiment practices, and Emotional Freedom Technique, weaving these together based on what you need and what resonates with you. No single method fits every person, and I am not attached to a rigid formula. I work alongside you, not above you. We will identify together what you are working toward and what pathways make sense for your life. I believe deeply that the most meaningful change happens when your voice, your values, and your cultural wisdom are driving the process.

When you have been at a low point for so long, it’s easy to be convinced that’s all there is. Instead of focusing on the negative, I look for strengths that will help you deal with challenges. We will also celebrate small victories. Sessions are full of high energy, enthusiasm, laughter, and positivity to motivate and pump you up. The focus is on what you do right and how you can believe in yourself again to be what you want. My office is a judgment-free zone. I will ask questions, listen intently, provide perspective, and give feedback. All to help you move forward. I understand you may feel uncomfortable with the idea of talking about yourself. It’s not always easy to do. My intention is for you to feel comfortable saying anything that comes to mind. It’s when you let their guard down that you can be your truest self and open to new possibilities. Everything I do is based on evidence about how the mind and body are connected and what you need to do in everyday situations to make them work for them – not against them. You are continuing to grow and adapt to new situations. It’s crucial to apply strategies that work at every stage. You can be assured that methods will be measurable, so you will “see” the progress you make.

Clients tend to approach me with conundrums that need to be fully understood: “I know what I’m feeling but I don’t know why”; “I keep finding myself in hurtful relationships and I want something different next time around”; “I’m tired of how I’m living and I’m afraid to change”; “I want to feel less lonely”; “I don’t like myself”; “The people I am closest to don’t really know me.” They want to live brightly and with much aliveness, and value being supported, known, and attuned to as they work on changing shape. I work with clients on a range of concerns including, but not limited to, relationships difficulties, depression, anxiety, panic, aftermath of abuse or neglect in family of origin, and transitions/loss across lifespan. I am currently accepting clients in New York.
