Meet Melanie

Melanie Arcidiacono, LAMFT

“It can be difficult to see the bigger picture when you’re inside the frame.”

I value the investment of  your time and vulnerability in seeking therapy, and I aim to bring my authentic self to meet you where you are. In the therapy room, I strive to create a space for you to feel safe and comfortable exploring knowing yourself better- unpacking questions, issues, or needs that have  felt stuck and confusing.

My approach blends direct yet thoughtful communication, my own humorous personality, and life experiences coupled with my systemic training to help guide you in achieving your goals. I believe that therapy can be a fun working space rather than stiff, stereotypical and impersonal! I aim to bring a fresh mindset to the idea of therapy that doesn't censor your self-expression; whether that be style, language, or thought processes. 

Who I work with:

I enjoy working with couples who are looking to reconnect emotionally, resolve painful conflict, or strengthen their bond to create lasting change in their relationships.

When working with individuals I aim to skyrocket self-confidence, improve boundaries (or create them from scratch), and understand unhealthy patterns in your life while working to change them to create strong connections with yourself- and ultimately others in your life. I can appreciate what comes with overwhelming life-transitions, anxiety & depression, executive dysfunction, or struggling to make sense of your world.

Sometimes adult family members may need guidance to bring more harmony and understanding to their relationships.Whether it be a parent-child, sibling, or any mix of family members, I work to restructure communication and interactions to benefit all.

I aim to honor your experiences and support you by implementing techniques to promote healing, conflict resolution, and a strong sense of self. Together we can tackle improving boundaries, intimacy, identifying dysfunctional patterns, coping skills, and improving interpersonal skills to serve you in all areas of your life.
