“Stephanie is an empathetic and very kind person. She is compassionate and understanding. I am most comfortable discussing anything with her. She has helped me through many things. A therapist must be a good active listener. Stephanie is that. She has always offered helpful suggestions and ways to manage my difficulties. Scheduling is easy with Stephanie. She is flexible, when scheduling, and offers other appointment times when needed. I am so fortunate to have found her. ”

Getting to know Stephanie Melo
Are you looking for a supportive, safe space to process and share your thoughts and feelings? Have you tried to push through depression, codependency, low self-esteem, anxiety, or weak interpersonal relationships for a long time? Surrender your old story and become willing to embrace a new one. I’ve felt alone, misunderstood, and hopeless, and I know the value of having the support of those who believed in me, even when I didn’t believe in myself. Fortunately, there is a way to change behaviors by learning to think and feel differently. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from LIU Post, which has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to guide you through this transformative process.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I am a English and Spanish Speaking, Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC). Through multiple techniques, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing and Person Centered therapy, I plan to help change the way you think & behave.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My goal is to empower my clients, as I wholeheartedly believe in the ability to change. Please allow me the opportunity to join you on your journey to overcome obstacles and embrace your accomplishments. An inner sense of peace may feel far from reach, but I promise it’s available to you. Are you ready? You’ve made it this far, now just reach out!

I am extremely disappointed with this provider, to say the least. Taking the first step toward improving my mental health was a big decision, and not having a session after following all the proper steps has been devastating.
There were no issues on my end—payment was made, and insurance was verified—yet I received no call or follow-up. Mental health is such a critical aspect of life, and poor communication from a professional in this field is unacceptable.
To anyone considering this provider, I urge you to save your time, money, and, most importantly, avoid the disappointment. Seek out a professional who prioritizes their clients and provides the care they deserve.
