About My Clients
Are you always a little bit afraid that an anxiety attack is waiting around the corner? Have you been hit with surprise anxiety more times than you can count? I know exactly what you're feeling: the pounding chest, the shortness of breath, the feeling that the walls are closing in and you need out NOW. Attacks can be terrifying, and I don't want you to have to suffer them anymore. Holistic practices can reduce anxiety tremendously, and I look forward to teaching you tools to take your life back.
My Background and Approach
Melanie Grace Gerald is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 20 years of experience working in healthcare. Settings include psychiatric hospitals, addiction treatment, individual/group therapy, and medical management. She earned her Master’s degree in Social Work from New York University and specializes in working with adults and adolescents seeking help regarding women’s issues, trauma, addiction, depression, and anxiety. Melanie utilizes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, solutions-focused brief therapy (SFBT), and motivational interviewing. If you are looking for a safe space in which you can feel understood and supported, Melanie is the ideal therapist. She is an especially good fit for black and brown people, 1st generation people, LGBTQIA2S+ people, and people who otherwise feel marginalized. Her strengths-based approach to therapy positions you as the expert in your own life. You know the problems and she can help you develop the solutions.
