Therapy that’s caring, and honest enough, to help you grow

I’m Dr. Melissa Chipollini. I help adults turn insight into real, lasting change through psychological services in NY, NJ, and PA.

Exclusively virtual services for clients across New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.

Therapy that doesn’t just nod along. You’ll be seen and supported, but also challenged in the moments that count so you can move from treading water to swimming.

You’ve hit your “something has to change” moment.

From the outside you look fine. Inside, you’re stuck.

Habits and emotions keep running the show.

Why you’re here

I’m warm, curious, and direct. I’ll validate what’s true and challenge what keeps you stuck, so your insights turn into action.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is our backbone. I also draw from Attachment Theory and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) for help you build healthier relationships, improve emotional regulation, and create behavior change.

How we’ll work

What’s different after therapy

No more treading water.

You start moving with intention.

Confidence and self-trust replace second-guessing.

You feel steady, even when life isn’t.
