Hello! My name is Dair Melendez-Drier (you can call me Di), and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). I am also an Advanced Certified Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC-AC), and a Certified Recovery Peer Advocate (CRPA). My counseling style is warm and compassionate, creating a safe space in which we can work together to discover new strategies and solutions to the issues you are working on. I enjoy working with a variety of patients of all ages, male and female, with a wide variety of presenting concerns, from coping with addiction, depression, anxiety, grief or sexuality. I incorporate the client-centered, goal-oriented Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Rogerian therapy and other modalities, and adjust my techniques to suit each individual client’s needs.
