My name is Melissa Chernoff and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (CPC) and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC).
Throughout my life I have experienced my time ‘on the couch’ to address my own life traumas; I find this invaluable as it has enhanced my ability to attune and attend to the vulnerabilities that arise as a client. Resilience and coping skills grow within an environment of hope, gentle exploration, and mutual respect and understanding. I am passionate about working with underserved and underrepresented populations and approach each session with a non-judgemental accepting lens. I believe that finding meaning in your experiences, past and present, is a unique and personal key that unlocks a deeper layer of healing and peace.
Our life experiences create the lenses in which we see the world through. Some continue to serve us and some we outgrow. This is something that I can help you process in therapy. My goal is to help you move forward in ways that feel healthy and authentic to who you are and who you desire to become. My eclectic approach allows us to tailor our work together to meet your individual needs.
