“I’ve been working with Jen for almost 2 years, both in 1-1 sessions and in a group over Zoom, and she is incredibly empathetic, and very communicative. She has a very multifaceted approach that incorporates movement, DBT, and art exercises and is flexible based on your needs at any given session. Jen’s approach has truly prepared me with skills that have improved my day-to-day life navigating emotions and relationships. Beyond that, she is incredibly encouraging and has been with me every step of the way - I cannot recommend her enough! ”

Getting to know Jennifer Mele
Hello and welcome to my online practice! I'm Jen Mele, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), with a Master's in Social Work from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and a Bachelor's degree from Boston University. I have a passion for helping women of all ages heal from anxiety, depression, burnout, loss of self, imposter syndrome, chronic tension, and more in creative ways that bring together the mind, body, and emotions.
Everyone experiences change, stress, loss, and challenge in life, and I love supporting clients with practical, tangible, life-changing skills that can help shift their emotions and moods in a way that is sustainable and long-lasting.
My practice specializes in using mindfulness, somatic therapy, and the creative arts to work with diverse individuals facing a variety of mental health concerns.
Diversity, inclusion, and equality are important to me. In addition, I offer healing practices and other creative arts processes that not only help increase mood and relaxation but also support personal expression, growth, and development.
My philosophy is that we have to use all parts of yourself-your mind, body, emotions, sensations, and Self-to create healing.

Jen is professional, compassionate, and responsive. I've been seeing her for years, and I feel like her practice has evolved in all the right ways. She backs up her methods with research, and over the years, she has incorporated IFS parts work, DBT, mindfulness, yoga/movement, art therapy and more. Her multi-faceted approach helps me arrive at new understandings, and she encourages me to take the strategies I learn with her into my everyday life. As an adult who carries the scars of childhood trauma, I also appreciate that she sees us as partners in my recovery. She helps me set challenging but achievable weekly goals, and as a result, I can recognize my progress, and I learn more and more about my own wants and needs as well as how to advocate for them.

Jen is a great therapist who uses unique methods of movement and meditation. I encourage her for people who are looking to incorporate these practices.
She is comfortable working via Zoom and I have had no issues meeting her remotely.

The work I have done with Jen has changed my life and her professionalism and commitment far exceeds any therapist I have seen in the past. The combination of DBT, movement/yoga, and art therapy has given me strength and tools I didn’t know I had for coping. I was fairly skeptical at the beginning of our work together, as it was all new to me. Jen has held my hand and beyond all of the great professional support; she is just a kind, non-judgemental person to talk to.

I truly look forward to my sessions with Jen! I started seeing Jen for regular therapy sessions in November 2021. Jen creates a welcoming, accepting, and creative space- even over a virtual platform. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional. I enjoy learning and exploring DBT, parts work, family systems, mindfulness, movement, and creative practices in sessions. I even feel comfortable and motivated to carryover these strategies and practices outside of sessions. Overall, I notice a genuine difference in my general thinking patterns and overall confidence since seeing Jen!
