Melissa Schleier

You may wonder why it’s hard to feel safe being yourself with others or why you often feel unseen or misunderstood in relationships. Painful experiences can leave you feeling disconnected—from others and from yourself. My work focuses on helping you rebuild trust, balance, and belonging by understanding how past experiences shape the present. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a graduate of Fordham University. I specialize in trauma and attachment issues and am EMDR certified. My approach is person centered, holistic, and collaborative, integrating CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and structural parts work. I am also influenced by Jungian and depth psychology, supporting insight and integration at both conscious and unconscious levels. Together, we’ll create a compassionate space where you can reconnect with your authentic self, develop self-trust, and move toward greater peace and meaning.
