Getting to know Marci Melnick

Hi there, I'm Marci! Welcome to an introduction to my practice. My name is Marci Melnick, and I am a licensed clinical social worker with a Master's in Social Work from California State University Long Beach. I have been practicing in clinical settings for over 25 years, assisting patients of all ages in reaching their therapeutic goals by creating a safe and supportive environment. My approach My therapeutic approach is narrative-based and utilizes solution-focused and cognitive behavioral methods. I believe you are the expert in your life experience, and my role is to guide and support you as we work together to achieve your goals. I do believe we may need to examine your past to identify any patterns influencing your current concerns. My goal is to help you develop healthy coping skills so you can manage life's stressors. My focus For the past 20 years, I have specialized in working in medical settings, providing supportive therapy to those struggling with both medical and mental health concerns. I maintained a private practice for many years focused on serving the HIV/AIDS community. I also have expertise in pediatric oncology, adolescent struggles, gender identity, sexual orientation, eating disorders, postpartum depression and anxiety, and infertility. My communication style I am an excellent communicator and engage in conversation during therapeutic sessions. I can be direct when needed for clinical progress while also offering space for you to share as you feel comfortable. My journey to mental healthcare I have always been the person people turn to when they need to share their deepest thoughts and feelings. I entered clinical practice because I felt a calling to help those in need of support and guidance. After more than 25 years in this profession, I still love what I do and feel grateful to the people who have allowed me into their lives.
