Getting to know Melissa Sellers
Hello, I'm Melissa. Are you feeling lost, stressed, or overwhelmed? Taking the steps to make changes in your life is the beginning of enhancing your well-being. I strongly believe in working with you to create techniques that fit your specific needs for happiness. Together, we will customize a treatment plan to guide you on a path to a healthy body and mind. We will work toward finding proper self-care skills, balance, and coping strategies that work for you.
I specialize in providing therapy for adolescents, adults, couples, and families with varied needs, including anxiety, depression, and addiction. I hold a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Hofstra University and am certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to assist with trauma, PTSD, or strong inhibitions. I am passionate about helping you take charge of your thoughts, feelings, and emotions to live a full life. Fulfillment is not a destination; it’s a process.
My passion is providing excellent clinical services delivered in a warm, compassionate setting. My aim is to teach you the skills you need to overcome the limitations you face so you can lead a productive life. Let’s start working toward your goals today!

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.

Melissa helped my family and I navigate a very difficult time during the COVID-19 quarantine. Dealing with an entire family can be challenging, but she was very open-minded and facilitated our many distinct voices in a constructive and professional manner. I am very happy that we crossed paths!

She made my first therapy session as comfortable as possible. She allowed me the opportunity to convoy my true thoughts and emotions. Highly recommend for someone wanting to get into therapy!

Melissa is a fantastic listening, and our therapy sessions often seem collaborative, in a sense. I feel heard in authentic ways, and the back-and-forth conversation that results from my experiences and how best to move forward is always incredibly thoughtful and helpful.
