Great to meet you!

My name is Melissa Salce, and I’m a Licensed Therapist in New York. Over the past nine years, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals facing a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, personal growth, and life transitions.

My approach to therapy

I believe in a warm, compassionate, and person-centered approach to therapy. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you move forward at your own pace. I understand that therapy can feel intimidating at first, which is why I focus on creating a safe, welcoming space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. Whether we’re addressing anxiety, healing from trauma, or exploring personal growth, I believe that building a strong rapport and fostering trust are key to successful therapy.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, I’ll take time to listen to your story and create a comfortable space where you feel heard and understood. Clients often share that they feel lighter after our initial conversation, like talking to a friend while making progress. Together, we’ll set goals that feel right for you, working at a pace that’s comfortable, yet focused on meaningful change.
