Melissa Slegona, LICSW
Hi there!
I provide psychotherapy services virtually to folks in NY, MA and RI via a secure, user-friendly and HIPAA compliant telehealth platform. I see many clients who struggle with anxiety (with or without panic), stress-management, relationship concerns, life-stage stressors, identity, and self-worth/self-esteem issues.
College is often described as "some of the best years of your life" ....by well-intentioned people who likely have not experienced life as a higher-ed student in the 21st century.
Many of my college-aged clients come to therapy seeking some grounding and perspective; here are some common struggles I see:
- feeling life has become too unbalanced
- prioritizing the multitude of academic, personal and family obligations they face
- realizing that who they were even a year ago feels dramatically different than who they are this year
- noticing what used to feel like a clear direction in life is starting to shift under their feet, leading to heightened disorientation, worry and insecurities
Therapy can help you to explore and identify what's truly important to you so that you can reconfigure and re-prioritize your life in a way that brings greater peace of mind and gives you a sense of real balance as you navigate your world and future career path.
Feel free to reach out and we'll see if this can be a good fit for your needs!
