Melinda Dubinski

I'm passionate about supporting women through overthinking, perfectionism and people pleasing, and the unique challenges of motherhood. I hope to offer practical tools to improve your daily life while also holding space for deeper reflection. Many of my clients say the following to me at their first sessions: "I can't turn my brain off", "I worry about everything!", "What if...", "I love my children but I'm really overwhelmed with motherhood". If this sounds like you, I would love to connect with you.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has worked in community non-profits prior to being in private practice. I love to work with individuals experiencing anxiety, navigating life transitions, and adjusting to pregnancy, challenging births, and parenthood. I also have extensive experience working with survivors of domestic and sexual violence.

My favorite way to explain my approach to therapy is that I'm here to help you carry the burdens of life. My approach is collaborative, client-centered, and empathetic. I utilize a variety of techniques and therapeutic modalities based on your specific needs.

I like to start new clients with a quick 10-15 minute "vibe check". This is an opportunity for you to share briefly what brings you to reach out for therapy and make sure we both feel comfortable moving forward. During your first session, you'll provide background information to help me better understand you and discuss your goals moving forward.
