Hello! My name is Melissa Friedman and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. But that’s just a title. My passion is helping people find the peace which comes from self-worth, meaningful relationships which come from self-knowledge, and the satisfying mindfulness which comes from self-mastery. There are no judgments; my clients know they can discuss anything at all with privacy and confidentiality – and they do! It is so satisfying to see the incredible growth and progress my clients make in a very short time, as together we map out strategies to overcome the roadblocks life seems to throw up in their path. From relationships, depression, and anxiety to grief, sexuality, and career issues, the common characteristic is that I provide a safe place to really be heard – and to really be understood. As a result, we are able to address emotional pain, challenging situations, or anything which is keeping you from achieving happiness – and find effective ideas and solutions to move you towards the life you want… and deserve.
