Melissa Alcaide, LCSW

Psychotherapist
NY
I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine conversation. My approach is down-to-earth, collaborative, and nonjudgmental, balancing compassion with honest feedback when it's helpful. I strive to create a space where clients feel comfortable being themselves while also feeling supported to change patterns that no longer serve them. Whether you're navigating anxiety, OCD, relationship concerns, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, we will work together at a pace that feels right for you.

Don’t see your insurance?

It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider's self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan's benefits.
