It takes strength and courage to begin something new; and with a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment, I believe that this is where it all begins. We're human and go through difficult times which can cause us much confusion and a need for guidance, hope, and support. I strongly believe that with an individualized, strength-based, and motivational approach, you can find a new direction and way of thinking to overcome the challenges that we are faced with in our everyday lives.

Trained in Germany and in the United States I have been able to learn from both academic and cultural traditions. Psycho-dynamic, Gestalt, Solution-focused and other approaches in Psychology led me to understand our emotional life as a strong and resilient force. This force is leading us - sometimes unnoticed - to new beginnings; we resist what is destructive and we heal at the same time.

This practice is currently closed to new clients. My specialty is working with individual adults on building happier, healthier relationships with their partners, parents, children, friends, or co-workers. Many issues impact relationships: communication problems, infidelity, a pile-up of life stressors, physical or mental health issues, substance use, life-stage transitions, or patterns going back to the families we grew up in. Folks may come in for help with a current issue, or to gain insight into longstanding patterns.

Accepting new clients I know that making the decision to find a person to speak with is an extremely personal and intimate one. Once this decision is made then comes the search to find the "right" person and this may not be an easy task. I want to reassure you that I understand this and strive to create a relaxed and welcoming environment. I feel the development of a trusting and respectful relationship between client and therapist is vital to the therapeutic process and is a primary goal in treatment. We will talk about your goals and how to use them as motivation in therapy. Then create a plan together to achieve them.

I'm Melanie, a licensed clinical social worker in CT and NY. I congratulate you for prioritizing the time to care for yourself. Seeking therapy can be an intimidating task, as we often have to open up, speak to and challenge parts of ourselves we've tucked away. Perhaps you have experienced a big life transition and are seeking helping navigating this next chapter. Perhaps you have noticed the same patterns emerging in your relationships or find yourself going to the same old, familiar place to keep your head above the water. These roads can feel isolating on your own, I would be honored to join you and work together.
