Dr. Melanie Love
Licensed Clinical Psychologist in NY & FL
You're tired of just muscling through. You've worked too hard on your life to feel so tuned out. You want better relationships. You want clarity, purpose, and tools to make the hard days more manageable.
​
Maybe you've leaned on people before but have been let down. Or you're afraid if someone saw the real you, things would never be the same.
​
You won't have to hide or pretend with me. I can handle how loud it gets in your head. I won't judge you for how you've learned to survive.
​​​
Our sessions are the place where you get to be unfiltered; I'll be your teammate in figuring out what comes next so you can build a life worth loving.
Does This Sound Like You?
You take on as much as you can to make sure everyone else gets what they need. Lately it's gotten heavy to carry. You want to be able to slow down your racing thoughts, to not need a drink to numb out, to just be able to breathe more easily.
​
As long as you can remember, you've been told to suck it up and just be strong. You've had to hide what's really going on in order to take care of others. You want to let others in, but it doesn't feel like an option or you don't know how.
​
It's like you're wearing a mask, even around loved ones. Your real self has been buried in the shadows, taking your vitality and energy along with it. You're tired of living with stuckness, shame, regret, or feeling like a shell of yourself.
As a psychologist specialized in men's mental health, I can help step out of the darkness and chart a clear path forward. With me, you'll learn tools to communicate more effectively in your relationships and build sustainable self-worth.
​
You deserve to be present and engaged in the life you've worked so hard for.​​​​
It takes strength to get this far.
Here's how therapy with me will help:
​​​​​
​From my professional training, including co-authoring the book “Secrets and Lies In Therapy” (APA, 2019), my expertise is helping you build practical tools and giving you a place where you get to be your most real, unfiltered self: no need to perform, tough it out, or worry that you'll be judged or seen differently.
If you’ve felt dismissed or criticized before, or it's just your first time letting your guard down, you can feel confident that you can relax and be yourself with me. When you get to experience the relief of being understood and accepted, you'll start to learn a new language that helps your relationships outside of therapy improve. You'll feel more comfortable, confident, and and connected with the people who matter most to you. Your sense of self-worth will become sturdier and you'll feel capable to handle whatever life throws your way. You'll find it easier to feel both independent and supported.
​
Therapy with me is an investment in yourself, and the work you put into our sessions will be tangible and transformative. You’ve been figuring it out alone long enough. Reach out today if you're ready to try building something new.
I'll be an active, truly non-judgmental guide in helping you get out of survival mode and get back to feeling confident, capable, and connected. I can also help you craft a toolbox that works best for you when it comes to dealing with stress.
Like any relationship, therapy works best when it is the right fit. Please reach out to schedule a free 15-minute consultation call. We'll go over your needs and goals and I'll answer any questions you have.
​
It takes courage to reach out. I'll respond quickly when you do so we can get started.
