I’m a licensed mental health counselor that has been practicing for 8 years I’ve got a specialty working with active duty soldiers and Veterans. Duel Licenses in Connecticut and New York.

I have been a practicing Social Worker for the last 40 years. I have worked in both private practice and Community Mental Health. I recognize that by the time someone seeks counseling they have tried other alternatives and are truly looking for answers, help, and/or direction that they have not been able to get. Therapy/counseling is an important decision and the work should be a positive experience (although it is work) that helps us get to a higher level in our lives. I have worked with CISM debriefing for first responders, been trained in hypnotherapy, Accelerated Resolution of Trauma, Solution Focused and both short and longer term modalities. I am available to offer my experience and training, to work together to help find answers, resolution and new ways of being in life.

Hello! Pleasure to meet you. My name is Michelle Merindino, LMHC. I am a Licensed Counselor in the State of NY. Much of my experience have been working with clients diagnosed with mood or personality disorders, depression, anxiety, etc . However, I strongly believe that therapy is a beneficial tool for absolutely anyone who is seeking to navigate life challenges in a healthy way, and improve daily functioning to meet their highest potential. My perspective is primarily person centered and humanistic , in which I create a safe, empathetic and non-judgmental space, while guiding you through interpersonal changes, processing emotions, self awareness, and healing. I hope to build a therapeutic relationship based on trust and respect. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we can examine patterns of unhealthy thoughts or feelings. Developing a deeper understanding of the role these patterns play in dysfunctional behaviors, will allow space to both challenge and break these cycles. I do not believe that one counseling approach fits all. When practicing, I aim to apply different modalities, and tailor therapy to best serve a client’s unique needs, circumstances and goals. I commend you for taking this courageous step! I look forward to assisting you in processes that include self exploration, learning coping strategies, considering new perspectives, building confidence, utilizing effective communication, recognizing destructive patterns, and any other therapeutic goals that will aide you in overcoming barriers to ultimately achieve the best, most fulfilled version of yourself.
