Deena Melika, LCP

Deena Melika, LCP

Psychologist
CA
Hi there, I'm Deena! Hello! My name is Dr. Deena Melika, and I'm eager to support you throughout your path to wellness. I hold a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Hofstra University, where I also earned my master’s degree. As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 18 years of expertise, I specialize in assisting individuals dealing with various mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, phobias, ADHD, Autism, and PTSD. My approach involves utilizing proven therapeutic techniques to create personalized treatment plans tailored to each client’s needs. My approach My therapeutic approach centers on Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), employing a compassionate and encouraging style that highlights the interconnected nature of thoughts, feelings, and actions. Through CBT techniques like cognitive restructuring, behavioral activation, and mindfulness practices, I work alongside clients to recognize and address distorted thinking patterns, replacing them with more balanced and positive cognitions. Additionally, I implement Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and incorporate elements from Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients overcome their difficulties. For those whose beliefs align with it, I offer a Christian-based CBT option. My holistic approach aims to foster optimism, promote personal growth, and enhance overall mental well-being. My focus I focus on supporting young and middle-aged adults grappling with anxiety, depression, or life changes who find it challenging to realize their full potential due to mental health issues. My expertise lies in addressing depression, anxiety disorders, phobias, ADHD, Autism, and PTSD. Additionally, I enjoy working with parents navigating their children’s mental health challenges, providing them with self-care techniques to enhance their ability to support their family members.
