Melissa Sadikoff

My communication style

I create a warm, welcoming, and safe environment. This is your time, and I want it to be productive and well spent. I'll be as active or passive as you need me to be. It's important to me that you know I care, am invested in you, and want to see you succeed in attaining your goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

I changed majors several times in college, but my senior year, a family member’s cancer diagnosis led me toward becoming a therapist. Seeing how counseling supported her coping and mindset—and how family therapy improved our communication and resilience—showed me the real impact therapy can have. It also helped me show up for my family.

My goals for you

In our early sessions, we’ll identify what you want to focus on and create realistic, attainable goals together. Goals may evolve as therapy progresses. I’ll help you find strategies to reach them, but the real work happens between sessions. I’ll support you throughout and celebrate your successes.

Our first session

Our first session will be about getting to know each other and making sure I’m the right fit for you. I’ll ask questions and come from a place of curiosity while letting you guide the conversation at your own pace. Building early trust and understanding is important so we can create a strong foundation for reaching your goals together.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
