Getting to know Melissa Cimino
I received a bachelor's degree in fine art from Kent State University and a master's degree in counseling from Trinity Washington University. I have been working in DC for the past 10 years with individuals and families in various settings.
I appreciate the trust and vulnerability it takes to seek help. Together, we will engage in compassionate, person-centered, and holistic therapy. I believe it is important to be curious about ourselves and our physical, behavioral, physiological, and emotional responses to distress. I aim to promote an empathic, safe, and non-judgmental space that allows a strong therapeutic relationship to form.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Sessions are focused on working on goals, identifying barriers and developing new self-awareness. We will explore concerns and your responses to stressors. This can allow the development of new, beneficial strategies for coping with stressors.

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
