Melanie Kressel, Psy.D.

Psychologist, Post-Doctoral Fellow

While starting the therapy journey may feel challenging and intimidating at first, you are not alone and have come to the right place. I aim to provide a compassionate, open, and warm space to help guide you through and ease these fears. I believe that therapy is not just about addressing problems but also about discovering deeper insights into yourself, strengthening resilience, and ultimately finding a path of change and healing that feels right.

I primarily work from a relational-psychodynamic framework, emphasizing collaboration, understanding, flexibility, and trust in order to tailor treatment to meet the unique needs and goals of every patient. I strive to cultivate an empathic space to explore all feelings, thoughts, and relational patterns in order to foster meaningful change and personal growth. My mission is to provide a safe, judgment free, nurturing, and supportive environment to strive towards introspection, awareness, better understanding of themselves and goal achievement.

Training and Education

I am a Clinical Psychologist who is also a born and bred New Yorker. I earned my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from The Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology and a Masters in Mental Health Counseling from New York University. I have extensive training in providing individualized psychotherapy to adolescents and adults. My comprehensive experiences have allowed me to work with a diverse array of cultural backgrounds, ages and diagnoses.

Throughout my time training and practicing, I have gained experiences at institutions such as Pratt Institute’s Counseling and Wellness Services, Manhattan Psychiatric Center, and New York Psychoanalytic Society and Institute. I completed my Doctoral Internship at Pace University’s Counseling Center in NYC and my Postdoctoral fellowship at Columbia University’s Counseling & Wellness Center. Prior to my doctoral training, I earned a specialization in eating and weight disorders from working with individuals at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy’s Center for the Study of Anorexia & Bulimia.
