Diane Vaillancourt
Pre-Licensed Professional, M.A., psychotherapist, Life Coach
I believe healing takes place when the core of the emotions/feelings is identified and then expressed. Our emotions and behavior are mostly covered and protected to avoid pain. There is no healing without feeling the pain but it's only temporary. Once the pain is felt and released the door for Joy has opened. I also use EFT, Spirituality and Energy Healing as it complements the process of therapy.

Stefani Melendez
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CTMH,CAGCS
Starting therapy for the first time can be an overwhelming experience, and it’s completely normal to feel a mix of emotions. My priority is to create a safe and welcoming space where you feel both comfortable and understood. Together, we’ll focus on your unique strengths and explore how you can harness them to navigate challenges and find solutions that resonate with you.
We’ll work on building your resilience by developing a toolbox of coping skills that you can rely on during tough moments. In addition to a strengths-based approach, I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques, which can help you identify and modify thoughts and behaviors that may be holding you back. Our sessions will be tailored to your specific goals, incorporating elements like problem-solving, stress management, relaxation techniques, and even role-playing exercises to enhance your assertiveness/communication skills.
I have experience working with adults aged 18-65 on a variety of issues, including grief, racial trauma, self-esteem, anxiety, career counseling, life transitions, relationship challenges, college and graduate school concerns, communication difficulties, and women’s issues. If you're feeling unsure about how to start, anxious about past experiences, or worried about being judged, I encourage you to reach out. You can click the Headway booking link located in my contact info on my profile to schedule your first appointment. I’m here to support you on this journey, every step of the way!

MERLYN HURD PHD QEEG D
Psychologist, PHD; QEEG D BCB, BCN
As a psychologist and neurotherapist for 30 years plus, I have worked with many clients with serious brain disorders and have been successful in assisting them in achieving good mental health. Each client is unique as well as their brains are unique and when the issues are pinpointed the journey to health can be achieved. I conduct a brain map analysis to pinpoint the dysregulations that are impeding the client and then construct protocols to address the issues. Clients have often commented that the work with myself and associates has provided them with quicker and more long lasting relief than many years of just talk therapy.
The best way to reach our office for questions or to schedule an appointment is via email rather than calling. Please email merlynh@nyneurofeedback.com
