Meet our team!

Jessi works with children, adult women and parents.

Hi! I'm Jessi, a licensed psychotherapist in NY and CT. I focus on two different types of primary clients:

1) Young women in their 20s-30s focusing on self exploration, transitions, relationships, communication, anxiety and confidence. 

2) Children and their parents with a focus on play therapy/techniques, anxiety, ADHD and parent training. 

I believe all our actions are derived from previous life experiences and my goal is to support clients in understanding their actions, while learning tools for self growth in both life and parenting. I currently hold sessions both in person and virtually. 

I believe the mind-body connection is a crucial part of our well-being. My passion in therapy is to help clients become the best version of themselves through self-exploration. I support clients in navigating anxiety, daily stressors of life, transitions, relationships and more using therapeutic approaches specific to each client’s goals. I strive to make my clients feel safe, while supporting you on their journey through self-growth.

Beyond being a therapist, I'm a doodle momma, lover of all things fitness, and soon to be human momma! 

Amber works with children, adolescents and adults.

 Licensed in New York and Connecticut, I bring over a decade of experience working with individuals, children, adolescents, families, and adults in various levels of care (Residential/PHP/IOP).

I specialize in neurodivergent care, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, body image struggles, codependency, and supporting those navigating relationships with loved ones struggling with substance abuse or eating disorders.

I graduated from Fordham University with a Master of Social Work and am passionate about providing trauma-informed, humanistic, and relational therapy. I utilize a Health At Every Size (HAES) framework and believe in the power of collaboration and support. As a psychotherapist, one of my goals is to create a comfortable and welcoming therapeutic space characterized by transparency, warmth, humor, curiosity, and compassion."

Melanie works with children, adolescents and adults.

 I'm a Licensed Master's Social Worker in New York and I also have my master's degree in education. I graduated from Yeshiva University in 2014 and have been a practicing clinician in varies different settings since, most recently as a school based Social Worker. 

I decided I wanted to be a therapist due to having a real love of helping others heal from the inside out. I believe that with the right skills and tools, anyone can feel emotionally and physically better about themselves and what they're going through. I specialize particularly in using mindfulness exercises, cognitive behavioral therapy, and play therapy to help my clients feel and be the best they can be. I work with both children and adults. I support my clients by teaching them to develop tools and skills to improve their personal and social connections, while giving them a safe space to open up. My goal is to help others understand their feelings, as well as overcome difficult challenges they may see in their daily lives. As a therapist, I want to ensure that I create an environment that makes clients feel understood and safe, while also encouraging them to both learn and grow .

Beyond being a therapist, I love to practice both yoga and pilates. I also love to read and write, as well as spend time with my family, friends and dogs!

Michele works with adolescents, adults and couples.

Hi! I'm Michele and my focus as a therapist is in challenging clients to dive deeper into themselves. My therapeutic approach is not a “one size fits all;” I aim to meet the client where they are at and build a relationship where they feel safe, supported, and validated. Through gaining insight on the “whys” in their lives, she helps clients work toward becoming the best version of who they truly are. 

I primarily work with couples, adults and teenagers.  I help couples acknowledge and understand one another more intimately by providing a space that gives each individual the opportunity to be honest, check in on their wants/needs and if/how they are being met. I help teens and adults focus on setting boundaries, navigating relationships, anxiety and trauma. 

Beyond being a therapist, I'm a mom of two little ones! I'm currently conduct all sessions virtually.
