Hi there! My name is Melanie. I am a Licensed Social Worker with over 10 years of experience working with adults and children with mental health needs. I work with clients struggling from post-partum depression & anxiety, OCD, PTSD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Bipolar disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, social anxiety, and depression. In addition to therapy, I am a Supervisor at CMO through NJ's Children's System of Care.
I utilize a strengths-based approach to assist individuals with achieving their goals. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness therapy, and hold a certificate in Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders from Postpartum Support International (PSI).
As a mother, I understand that postpartum and parenting can be isolating, but it doesn’t have to be! I am passionate about helping children and parents and I love what I do. The challenges you are experiencing are treatable. Let's get you back to feeling like your best self together!
