Getting to know Melanie Almada

As a therapist, my main objective is to create a therapeutic space that promotes growth. There are many reasons to seek therapy, whether it's a recent transition, difficulty coping with past negative experiences, or an increase in unpleasant symptoms. Whatever the reason, investing in your personal growth and wellness is always important. Since each individual is unique, I utilize various therapeutic methods tailored to your needs. I hold a Master's in Psychology from the University of Massachusetts Global and bring over ten years of experience working with youth and families in diverse settings, including schools, outpatient, and medical clinics. I would be pleased to support you as you work towards your goals! I am also able to provide sessions in Portuguese.
