Maria Cacace-Mele

My communication style

When working with clients, I strive to provide a safe environment with an emphasis on respect, empowerment, open communication, trust, and encouragement.

My journey to mental healthcare

I enjoy working with all age levels and feel comfortable working alongside a client to move through their personal struggles. I enjoy the clinical relationship and mutually working toward personal growth and obtaining one's goals.

My goals for you

After the initial session and learning about a client and some of their background, I work to initiate a mutually acceptable starting point. Throughout our work together, I encourage setting personal goals that are specific, measurable, and can be adjusted, if needed, as our work continues.

Our first session

During our first session, my goal is to make one feel welcome, comfortable, and safe. I ask some questions to get a broad sense of who you are, what brought you to therapy, and try to determine your current goals.
