Giselle Melendez, Doctor

I am a licensed social worker who integrates CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic approaches to guide clients toward meaningful, lasting emotional change.

Welcome—I'm glad you're here. I am a Licensed Social Worker with experience supporting individuals through a wide range of emotional and life challenges, including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, relationship issues, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. I have a particular passion for women’s mental health and provide specialized support for those navigating fertility treatments, pregnancy, postpartum transitions, and the adjustment to parenting. I also work closely with parents who are facing challenges with teenage children, offering guidance that strengthens communication and emotional connection within the family.

My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in compassion. I firmly believe in meeting each client exactly where they are, emotionally and psychologically. In our work together, you can expect a thoughtful blend of evidence-based approaches—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic therapy—to help you build insight, develop practical coping skills, and move toward meaningful change.

Clients often describe my approach as gentle yet empowering. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences openly, feel heard and understood, and begin healing at a pace that feels right for you. I understand that seeking therapy is a courageous step, and I am honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward greater stability, clarity, and emotional well-being.

I look forward to supporting you on the path toward hope, healing, and a stronger sense of self.
