Stefani Melendez
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CTMH,CAGCS
Starting therapy for the first time can feel overwhelming, but I'm here to make sure you feel comfortable and heard. I believe in focusing on your strengths and working together to discover how to use them effectively to find solutions. Together, we can build your resilience by creating a toolbox of internal coping skills that you can rely on in challenging times. In addition to strengths-based therapy, I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Through CBT, we can work on problem-solving, resilience-building, relaxation techniques, stress management, and even practice assertiveness through role-playing. Our sessions will be tailored to your goals, and I may suggest some exercises for you to try between sessions to help you apply these skills in your daily life.
My areas of speciality for adult clients aged 18-65 are: Grief, Racial Trauma, Self-Esteem, Anxiety, Career Counseling, Life Transitions, Relationship Issues, College/Grad School issues, Communication issues, and Women's Issues. If you ever feel unsure about how to start, have had a rough experience in the past, worry about being judged, or just feel a bit uncertain, please don't hesitate to reach out. Check out my Grow therapy or Headway profile listed below in the practice description section, see when I'm available, and let's take this step together!

Westchester Psychological Associates, PLLC -Jennifer Rubinstein Murray
Psychologist, Psy.D.
If you are looking for guidance with anxiety, ADHD, infertility, relationship and marriage counseling, or parenting, it takes courage to ask for help. Admitting you cannot do everything on your own, is the first step toward achieving wellness in a fast paced, demanding world. The good news is, asking for help gets easier with a little practice. The way in which we cope in the world is greatly influenced by how we see the world. Asking for help, and obtaining a fresh perspective is often the first and most profound step toward developing the mental muscle needed to become stronger.
As an experienced psychologist, it's my honor to assist you in exploring core issues and move toward a healthy, fulfilling life. I utilize evidence based approaches to treat anxiety, ADHD, fertility issues, marriage counseling and parenting. I will work with you to create a treatment that's customized to meet your unique circumstances.
With honesty and compassion I will work with you to create an open channel of communication. We will work on the skill of self-compassion, which will allow you to move more easily through difficult times in the future, as well as become a more productive and happier person.
