I am Shari Weiss, PsyD, a licensed clinical psychologist with a decade of experience providing evidence based care. My approach is warm, empathic, and collaborative.

Hi, I'm Mel Joy, a healer with 25+ years of experience witnessing how resilient people can be. We all experience ebbs & flows of transitions and struggles, while constantly evolving. Life can be both beautiful & messy, and I'm humbled and honored to help you sort through it in individual and/or group therapy. Our minds & emotions uniquely shape our perception of reality. No two people have the same experience, and there is no such thing as a "one size fits all" treatment modality. No matter how different we may be, one thing we all share is the capacity for joy & pain, and everything in between.

I have 13 years of experience as an inpatient psychiatric NP at Northwell Health.
