Hello, my name is Melanie Blaikie and am a LMHC with 20 plus years of experience in counseling people with different cultural backgrounds, genders, LGBTQ+, BIPOC, mental health conditions, addictions, trauma, and crisis interventions. I am licensed in New York State and focus on Self Actualization through meditation, mindfulness, and client centered therapy. I can show you how to rewire your brain to help reduce anxiety and depression. I also include alternative type treatments such as: EFT (tapping), dreamscapes, and other therapies that the client may be interested in such as Angel Therapy. Pain management and working with dementia are other areas that I address. I treat the whole person as the mind, body, and spirit are inherently connected. Life is hard and we all need support. I meet the client where they are and believe in working on a treatment plan together so they can be as well as they can be. I recognize that seeking out a therapist is hard but also brave. Therefore, I provide a safe and non-judgmental environment to explore a variety of issues and concerns. I have no issues bringing in spiritual elements, if this important to the client but will not do so if this is of no interest to the client. Nothing is too hard to deal with if the client is willing to explore it. Currently, my schedule is Wednesday, Thursday, and Fridays (subject to change.)

40 years offering treatment
I am licensed in New York with 40 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, couple's therapy, anger management, motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. Being positive is not always easy and takes effort for changing our negative programmed way of thinking, which we inherited from culture, family and others. I am here to support you in that process. I work with couples to repair trust, improve communication, and strengthen their emotional intimacy with each other. Couples also learn their love language, and the value of making the choice to Love, commitment, monogamy, and financial growth. It takes courage to seek out a more WE centered vs. EGO centered life and to take the necessary steps towards change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
