“Dr. Melkumov is kind and sensitive. She helped my partner and I get back on a steady plane in order to work through issues. We only were able to have a few sessions, but it was through the safe space and calm manner that she provided that allowed us to give each other more space and talk about things more openly.”

“Dr. Melkumov is compassionate, honest and consistent. I struggle with anxiety and negative self talk and have seen vast improvements throughout my sessions. I am not embarrassed to share anything at all, and feel like Dr. Melkumov really listens and cares about me. I get the feeling that I am talking to an old friend during my sessions. I highly recommend Dr. Melkumov to anyone looking for a therapist!!!!!!”

Getting to know Dr. Melissa Melkumov
Rewarding personal, professional, and romantic relationships are fundamental to our happiness, yet they can often feel elusive. I am a Clinical Psychologist with a PsyD in Clinical Psychology from Long Island University Brooklyn, working with individuals, couples, and families who may be struggling to find fulfillment in their relationships with themselves and others. Challenges that can get in the way include depression, anxiety, loneliness, interpersonal difficulties, and PTSD. I help clients process and work through current and past life stressors and traumas, such as sexual traumas, infertility, loss, transitioning to parenthood, and career changes.
I primarily work from a psychodynamic and interpersonal perspective. Additionally, I have training and experience in CBT, DBT, and trauma-focused therapies, which I incorporate as needed. I strive to provide treatments that are sensitive to diverse cultural needs and have experience working with individuals identifying as part of the LGBTQI community.
Establishing trust and intimacy in relationships can be difficult, and therapy is no exception. I create a safe and supportive therapeutic environment by listening without judgment and working collaboratively. I help by making observations about your patterns and providing useful strategies for change. You do not have to struggle on your own!

Dr. Melkumov is warm, inviting, comfortable and thoughtful. I found her through a random internet search and appreciated that we shared the same philosophy on therapy and the value and importance of mental health care. I look forward to continuing my treatment with her.
