Meet Melanie

Melanie Arcidiacono, MFT

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

Do you find yourself stuck in the same cycles with family, friends, or your partner? It can be difficult to see the bigger picture when you’re inside the frame. I am trained from a systemic lens to therapy that blends the pieces of the macro and micro together. In my practice, I firmly believe that each client is the expert in their own reality, and together, we collaboratively craft personalized plans of care.

One of my focal points is enhancing harmonious family and couple dynamics, particularly in couples, and adult child and parent relationships. I use my authentic personality and real-world experiences alongside my clinical training to combine the best of research and everyday life in the therapy room. My approach consists of directness, humor, and respect for individual experiences and perspectives, all with the goal of driving long-term positive change.

I believe in fostering open communication, addressing past traumas, and encouraging authenticity as key elements in the transformative journey of therapy. I am passionate about addressing trauma, breaking dysfunctional cycles, and empowering clients to use their voices to live authentically. My dedication is centered on creating a supportive therapeutic environment where clients can embark on a journey of self-discovery and positive change.

Who I work with:

I enjoy working with individuals, families, and couples. Diversity is at the heart of my practice, and I am comfortable working with clients who identify across the vast spectrum of life including LGBTQIA+, age, and race. My specialization is in relationships, family dynamics, life transitions, and childhood & adult trauma.

Therapy is for everyone- if you’re on the fence, this is your sign to climb down!
