Hi, I’m Ryan! I'm a psychotherapist and academic.

I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with fear of abandonment, feelings of instability in relationships, and those experiencing intense emotional turbulence. Whether you feel overwhelmed by the intensity of your emotions or find yourself caught in unhealthy relationship patterns, my approach is grounded in empathy, support, and understanding. I help clients navigate these challenges by creating a safe, non-judgmental space where we can explore the roots of your concerns and develop healthier coping strategies. With a background shaped by working around the world, I bring a unique global perspective to my work. Many of my clients come to me feeling alone, misunderstood, or as though their emotional experiences are difficult to express or process. If this resonates with you, know that you're not alone. Together, we can explore these feelings, understand their deeper causes, and work toward emotional clarity and healing.

Stefani Melendez
Hey everyone! I'm excited to connect with you. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in NY. I possess certifications in Advanced Grief Counseling, Trauma Treatment and Telemental Health. I specialize in assisting individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, and grief/loss. I have experience working with BIPOC clients who struggled with maintaining a college/work-life balance while dealing with a variety of social, environmental, and race-based stressors. Stress is a common issue that I hear about in therapy, but I understand that each individual experiences it differently. Some may not even see it as a problem, viewing it instead as something they've been taught to endure due to family or cultural expectations. Stress can manifest in various ways, such as difficulty making decisions, problems concentrating, feelings of anger, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, headaches, and gastrointestinal issues. My goal is to create a safe and accepting space where we can explore and address the stress that weighs us down and work together to develop effective coping strategies and a wellness plan. I believe that our work together should always be centered around you. It’s all about teamwork and tapping into your strengths. Think of our journey as a partnership. I’m here to offer support and tools, but you’re the one in control, guiding your own path to personal growth. Just like how an architect helps design a building but doesn't do all the hard work themselves, I won’t solve your problems for you. Instead, I want to empower you to create your own blueprint for success. Together, we’ll build a solid foundation so you can confidently tackle whatever challenges come your way.

I am passionate about helping children, teens, and adults navigate their lives. I utilize creativity and mindfulness with my clients and incorporate stepping outside of the box to provide clients the opportunity to freely express themselves while learning healthy ways to communicate their emotions. My motto comes from my Great Aunt Mary: “Wherever you plant her, she will grow” This is the motto that I hold for all of my clients, wherever life might take you, you have the ability to grow to your full potential, even when planted in adverse and challenging environments. Every garden needs support to grow, let me be your support along your journey!

You may look like you have it together on the outside, but actually feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck. I help individuals better understand themselves, discover ways to cope and create meaningful, lasting change. I work with adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns like people-pleasing and overthinking. I also support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. Many of my clients have trauma histories, caregiving roles, or chronic illness and are seeking deeper insight. You don’t have to have everything figured out to start. Many people come to therapy simply feeling stressed, on edge or misunderstood.

Melissa Maceo
I am a Clinical Social Worker in New York State. I specialize in treating anxiety and depression in adolescents and adults using evidence based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. Our college years are one of the best years of my life. It was a time where I experienced a major shift in the way I saw the world and reframed many of my lived experiences. College was also one of the most stressful times in my life. The deadlines, the professors who didn't care I had other classes to study for, the part-time work and wok study...so many all nighters. And somehow making time to be social. All of these things make uo the college experience but I realized, many years later, that some things, such as the constant worrying about deadlines, the panic sweat waiting for my professors to give me feedback, and the fact I typically slept four hours a day, were not normal things I should have "pushed through" as I often told myself those days. I wished someone had been there to tell me to step back and take care of myself more. Now, as a therapist, I hope I can be the person who helps get you through the dualities that is your college years.
