Getting to know Melissa Benzaquen

My name is Melissa Benzaquen, a bilingual Licensed Mental Health Counselor born and raised in Venezuela. I help adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, life transitions, relationship challenges, and emotional overwhelm find greater clarity, confidence, and emotional balance. I am especially passionate about supporting women who feel emotionally exhausted, stuck, disconnected from themselves, or trapped in unhealthy relationship patterns. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling lost, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to move forward. Together, we work toward rebuilding self-worth, strengthening emotional resilience, and creating a life that feels more peaceful, fulfilling, and aligned with their values. I believe therapy should be a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. My goal is to help clients feel emotionally stronger, more hopeful, and more confident in their ability to navigate life's challenges and create meaningful change.

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.
