Getting to know Melanie Stern

I am a psychotherapist specializing in anxiety, substance use, and ADHD. I also work with people who want to connect more deeply with their emotions and with adults struggling to fully launch. I tailor treatment to each client and work to reveal the root of the problem through a therapeutic process informed by psychoanalytic thinking, a systems approach, CBT techniques, and trauma-informed theory and practice. Outside of my practice, I’m a mother and stepmother, which is a daily source of learning and growth and a big part of who I am. I enjoy running, spending time by the beach, and am a proud lifelong New Yorker.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Reaching out can feel like a big step. Come as you are. There’s no need to have it all figured out. Our first session is a chance to get to know each other and see if we’re a good fit.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In our first sessions, we’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, what you hope will change, and what’s gotten in the way so far. From there, we build a plan together and revisit it over time so the work stays focused on your goals.

More information on payments and coverage

I’m an out-of-network provider. I can provide a superbill each month so you can submit for reimbursement through your insurance’s out-of-network benefits. I recommend checking with your insurance about your out-of-network mental health coverage before we begin.
