Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hello! It is my pleasure to begin this therapeutic journey with you. I am licensed in the State of New York as a Mental Health Clinician and I am also a Credentialed Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor. I believe that each individual is unique and an expert on themselves. I utilize a client centered approach to therapy as well as tailoring therapy and corresponding techniques based on a client’s unique personality, desires, and goals for treatment. I have found that utilizing multiple therapeutic approaches allows for individuality within treatment. I typically utilize Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT); Motivational Interviewing (MI); Solution Focused Therapy, and Existential therapy to be particularly helpful in working with clients.
I have been drawn to the field of psychology and human behavior from an early age and have pursued this field with great passion. I believe that the therapeutic process is effective in providing self-insight, wisdom and knowledge. It is my understanding that all behavior is purposeful and allows an individual to obtain personal needs and desires. Sometimes, these behaviors may be maladaptive and cause an individual distress. Through the therapeutic process we explore these and discover ways in which an individual can live a rewarding, meaningful life. Therapy also provides a platform for processing difficult emotions and experiences in an effective and productive way.
I look forward to beginning this journey with you. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Melanie commonly employs cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), solution-focused therapy, and existential therapy as tools to address a range of concerns. These methods are selected and adapted to match each client’s unique needs and objectives.
Drawn to psychology and human behavior from an early age, she views the therapeutic process as a means to foster self-insight, understanding, and practical knowledge. Melanie sees behavior as purposeful – when coping strategies become maladaptive and cause distress, therapy provides space to explore those patterns and to develop ways to build a more meaningful and rewarding life.

Many people wonder whether online therapy can make a real difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One clear advantage is flexibility – clients can connect with therapists in the way that feels most comfortable, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That range of options helps make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
Online care is delivered by licensed professionals, and clients may change therapists at any time if they need a different fit. For many people, the combination of evidence-based effectiveness and flexible access makes online therapy a practical option for addressing everyday mental health needs.
