Getting to know Melissa Moreno
I am Melisa Moreno, LCSWR, a licensed clinical social worker practicing in NY, FL, and AZ. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from New York University and specialize in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and trauma-informed care. I have been working with these treatment models in an inpatient forensic setting for the last 15 years, alongside maintaining a private practice in NY and AZ for the past 5 years. I take a holistic, mindfulness-based psychotherapy approach to help foster healing, self-discovery, and transformation. I am a highly skilled and trained expert in the field of trauma-informed care and treatment, focusing on managing symptoms of trauma and inner child healing.
I believe in treating everyone with dignity, sensitivity, and compassion, and have worked respectfully with those who are LGBTQ+, as well as individuals struggling with addictions, eating disorders, and significant trauma. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, attachment repair, and narrative therapies. I specialize in trauma-informed care and skills.
It takes courage to reach out for support and therapy; however, it can be a very empowering and helpful process. I look forward to working together through your journey of healing and self-discovery. I am also an OASAS-certified Education & Training Provider (ETP) and provide court-ordered or client-referred OASAS assessments and court evaluations.
What should a new client know about working with you?

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.
