Getting to know Melissa Wanamaker

I am a psychotherapist in private practice in East Quogue, Long Island, who specializes in working with adults on all emotional issues, using talk, art and dream work to strengthen the Self. I am committed to helping people realize their potential.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I have a particular interest in individuals who have suffered an early loss, such as a parent or sibling's death in childhood. Much research has shown that if not resolved then, the loss may be reactivated in later life, causing such symptoms as depression, anxiety, guilt, low self esteem, work and relationship difficulties. Therapy can help.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Many individuals find it emotionally hard to search for a psychotherapist. Then to go. And then to keep coming. It is difficult. But once you contact a trained and understanding person, it can be the beginning of the road to health.
