I have been a practicing licensed clinical psychologist for 10 years but a healer for life. My passion has always been helping my clients better understand themselves, separate themselves from their diagnosis and symptoms, and use tools to help heal their soul. In a world that constantly tells you who you “Should” be, it can be hard to find and feel at home in your true self.
I am a New York State licensed clinical social worker who specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy with extensive training in psychotherapy. I work with teens, adults, families and couples, treating issues including anxiety, depression, loss and addiction. In addition to a social work degree from New York University, I also trained at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy in its Family and Couples Treatment therapy program.
I’m a formerly harsh self-critic and PhD psychologist with 30+ years of experience. I blend Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindful Self-Compassion. If you struggle with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem or relationship problems, I’m here to help.
Through therapy, you'll learn to stop judging yourself so harshly, let go of guilt, shame and blame, and treat yourself with the same kindness you show others. I help you believe in yourself and take action, even when you’re feeling anxious.
It's very difficult to be in stressful situations that can cause lots of anxiety and self-doubt. Perhaps you're looking for something more than advice from family and friends. If you're looking for a warm and inviting counseling atmosphere, I am eager to work with you to develop effective coping skills and a greater self-awareness to reach your full potential. Together, you and I can work to set goals that are appropriate and attainable for you, at your pace. For therapy to be effective for you, I work hard to build genuine and long lasting trust.
I have experience working with clients who have suffered from anxiety, depression, and marital issues. Additionally, I believe that cultural factors are critical to the way we navigate through life. I work hard to address cultural matters, to understand how these may impact our perception of the world.

Hi, and welcome! Through our work together, I look forward to learning more about you and your experience, and helping you to find your way confidently to a more fulfilling life.

I am a licensed clinical and forensic psychologist in New York State, with more than 30 years of experience in mental health, psychological assessment, trauma recovery, and public safety wellness. Born in the Bronx and raised in Queens, New York, I developed a deep appreciation for the resilience, diversity, and strengths of the communities I have served throughout my career.
My approach to therapy is integrative, trauma-informed, evidence-based, and person-centered. I believe effective treatment begins with understanding the whole person—not simply their symptoms. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), mindfulness-based interventions, and insight-oriented approaches, I work collaboratively with clients to develop greater self-awareness, strengthen coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and create meaningful and lasting change.
I strive to provide a safe, respectful, and supportive environment where clients feel comfortable discussing their concerns openly and honestly.
Whether someone is seeking help for anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, relationship difficulties, occupational challenges, or personal growth, my goal is to help them build resilience, enhance well-being, and develop a greater sense of purpose, meaning, and fulfillment in their lives.
I hold a BS Degree in Human Development and Family Studies from Cornell University and an MA in Art Therapy from NYU. I am licensed by the State of NY and nationally Board Certified by ATCB. Fluent in Italian; Certificate in Trauma and Creative Arts; IFS-informed, post-Master's level trainings in CBT, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and IMAGO relationship therapy. 20 years experience with people from 3-99. Creative, empathic and client-centered, your treatment will be as unique as you are.
I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist who works with Individual adults and adolescents, many of whom identify as LGBTQ+. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, and questions of identity. I have an MSW degree from NYU, where I interned with a psychoanalytic institute. I also earned a BA in Philosophy from The New School.
I am a clinical psychotherapist with almost a decade of experience working with couples and adults who want to better understand themselves, and work towards creating the lives and relationships they crave. I am passionate about helping people reconnect to themselves, their hopes, and their autonomy. I specialize in relational/marital challenges, anxiety, grief, addiction, eating disorders, and trauma.
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.
When we feel othered, alone, or hopeless — it's hard to ask for help. Talking to a therapist can help you feel like yourself again. I help my clients discover the root of their concerns through storytelling, reflecting on their values and desires, and understanding in what ways they’ve adapted to being in the world.
I utilize a multi-theoretical basis for all my clients. For my practice, trust, warmth and communication are the foundations of a good therapeutic relationship. I have a specialty in child/adolescent/family issues. However, I see many young adults who have issues feeling at ease and confident in their relationships and workplace. I endeavor to lift my clients out of the dark place that may be weighing them down to finding the solutions that will enable them to live freely.


Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Searching for therapists in Tarrytown starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. You may want help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or a life transition. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy. A therapist’s profile can also show how they describe their style, what they focus on in sessions, and who they have experience supporting.
In a smaller city like Tarrytown, local appointment options may be more limited than in larger parts of Westchester County or New York City. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in New York. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist communicates and whether their approach fits what you’re looking for.
Therapy in Tarrytown can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and get a clearer estimate before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare profiles in one place. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
