I have a special affinity for work with adolescents and young adults. I am well attuned to the psychological challenges attendant to the complex transitions in our culture from high school to college and from college to young adult life. I have in-depth experience with this age group, with their confusion and explorations of sexual experience, as well as the long dark corridors of eating disorders and addictions. I have worked in inpatient and outpatient hospital settings. Having seen it all, and found ways to help a wide variety of individuals, I am well positioned to offer hope.

Psychotherapy is about transition, you are not necessarily bound by your patterns. It's also about simultaneously addressing symptoms and developing effective and lasting means of combating them. Life stressors, especially during difficult times, challenge us to approach these stressors in more effective ways. We must ask to reconsider ourselves, our behaviors, our responses, and our ability to engage with others.. The practice of psychotherapy is a creative, forward moving, and lasting transition to enhance all areas of one’s life.

For over 25 years, I have helped adults and teens to overcome their anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I am a warm, caring and engaging psychologist who understands your emotional pain.

"I Just Can't Seem to Get Over My Problem..." Does that statement resonate with you? Even successful people can still have unresolved struggles. I help people move beyond their stumbling blocks. Depression, anxiety, relationship problems, disturbing life experiences such as abuse, accidents, traumas, sudden illness/death can all prevent you from happiness. When symptoms persist, you can feel discouraged or defeated. You are not alone! Many clients feel this way when they first see me. Often, they've struggled for quite some time and have tried everything, only to experience partial relief. Hope is always available.

We are all collectively facing a stressful period in our lives. Covid 19 has changed almost everything that we once knew. Especially now we need to feel connected and have a safe place to discuss your feelings. Starting therapy can often be difficult and intimidating. My supportive approach helps to establish a connection in which you can feel heard and understood. We will work together to uncover issues and behaviors that have stopped you from being able to reach your goals and experience a sense of well being, In the process, you will acquire greater awareness and discover coping methods that will help manage your feelings.

As a parent myself, I know the fears, anguish, and confusion you can have dealing with your child's or adolescent's struggles. If you are in a less than satisfying relationship, I can help you understand and effectively communicate your needs in a way your partner can respond to you. If you have an addictive problem, I can help you motivate yourself to overcome it. I provide a safe, comfortable, nonjudgmental place to heard. We will use intense problem solving methods to get the most rapid relief we can. We focus on your goals, not someone else's.

Most mental suffering we endure (if not due to present grief and loss) arises either from our fervent attempts to resolve or answer uncomprehended emotional needs, or because we never learned to endure and adapt our unruly interior lives to the world around us. I help individuals to feel better by attending to all that they are in the moment, as a way of understanding how they have come to be themselves -- and how who they are is at odds with what they want to be and feel. I am trained both in "classical" and contemporary psychoanalysis (IPA member) and in Columbia's pioneering Program in Narrative Medicine, where I now teach.

Greetings! I am Dr. Melita T. Stancil, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist. I am passionate about providing practical and effective treatment that serves the individual as a whole person.

I have found that the most efficient avenue to life progress can be the connection between the psychotherapist and the client. Such connection promotes an evolving internal connection with one's most true passions,and offers the company of another in facing fears. I would help you to deal with conflicts that block your motivation and passion and help you open to new ways of engaging with your inner resources, and with the significant people in your life. In order to this I address any blocks & resistances that interfere with deep and authentic feeling contact.

People often seek out therapy when they are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or alone. These feelings may cause symptoms of anxiety, depression, difficulty managing anger, or dependance on food or substances to cope. As a therapist I enjoy creating a relationship that is warm, consistent, caring and safe to explore difficult feelings or experiences while figuring out what symptoms like anxiety, or depression are trying to tell us. Having someone who understands the way you think and feel can be truly transformative. This process can lead to the rediscovery of your own innate constructive forces, bringing relief and much needed change.

I am a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst with over 25 years of experience helping a wide range of individuals. All shared feelings of being stuck or blocked in fundamental areas of their lives. Powerful feelings and beliefs involving shame, fear, anger and sadness had disconnected them from inner sources of strength and self-esteem, and had prevented them from living and working freely and fully. I see psychotherapy as a collaborative relationship in which we identify and resolve those obstacles, leaving you with a new or renewed sense of authenticity, energy and hope.
