Getting to know Melissa Fingado

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with experience working with clients ranging in age from teens through late adulthood. I hold an MSEd in Mental Health Counseling from City University of New York, Hunter College, and a Bachelor's degree from the University of Rhode Island. I am passionate about serving the LGBTQIA+ community, often working with individuals experiencing anxiety, low mood, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, neurodivergence, and the everyday challenges of being human.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I believe authenticity, trust, and collaboration are essential to create a space where you can feel safe to explore and gain an understanding yourself. In our work together, we will find a tailored, holistic approach that works best for you and your goals. I often draw from CBT, ACT, Narrative Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy to help in understanding the roots of your challenges and make the changes needed to help you feel more aligned with the person you want to be. I also incorporate Somatic Therapy and mindfulness techniques into my approach to help you understand what your body may be trying to communicate with you and what it may need in order to feel more at rest. No matter your reason for starting therapy, I am honored to be a part of your journey toward better understanding yourself.
