Getting to know Melanie Daye
Hi there, I'm Melanie!
I'm a Licensed Clinical Psychologist practicing in California, licensed for 12 years. I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology from Alliant International University and completed my undergraduate studies at the University of California, Riverside. I provide individual therapy to adults seeking growth and healing. My clients and I work together to remove barriers and build effective strategies to handle life challenges and create meaning and change.
My approach
I take an integrative approach, tailoring methods to each client’s unique needs. My goal is to create a warm, empathetic space to build a genuine connection. I draw from various therapeutic frameworks, including approaches that help clients shift unhelpful thought patterns, build emotional resilience, and develop practical coping strategies for managing stress and intense emotions. My work is influenced by solution-focused, person-centered, and existential perspectives.
My focus
I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, eating difficulties, life transitions, grief, job loss, trauma, stress, relationship problems, and physical health challenges. This includes young adults, college students, and women across the lifespan. I also understand the unique stressors on medical professionals and those in high-demand work environments.
My communication style
I am empathic, collaborative, and non-judgmental, offering a supportive environment. Open, effective communication establishes trust and builds a positive therapeutic relationship.
My journey to mental healthcare
We all face challenges, and sharing burdens can normalize struggles. Feeling understood and accepted is important. Through my own life experiences and personal challenges, I’ve learned that having a safe space for reflection and feeling understood makes a difference. Having someone to turn to during difficult times can transform one’s life.

After multiple failed therapists through other app platforms, I finally found Dr. Daye and I’m so grateful. She’s felt like a long hug at the end of a long, tiring day. She’s easy to talk to and I can feel her kindness radiating from how she interacts with me. I look forward to our sessions every week no matter what’s going on in my life, good or bad.
