Melanie Dessommes, LMSW

Hi there, I'm Melanie. 

My primary focus is working with adults and teenagers who are dealing with life transitions, self esteem, anxiety, depression, and grief. Together we will collaborate in a safe and trusted space to tap into the problems you are facing. I use proven techniques to help you improve your thought patterns. It may feel overwhelming reaching out for help, but I am here for you.   

Before becoming a psychotherapist, I worked in medical settings to help people with depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. I provided group and individual therapy for people fighting addiction and mental health disorders. I assisted older adults during the height of the pandemic to ease their chronic social isolation. 

​

I completed my Master's degree in clinical social work from New York University. I graduated summa cum laude from St. Francis College in Brooklyn Heights, with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology.
