Hello, My name is Maria Mele and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with all ages, teenagers, adults, and seniors. My approach to a session is open, non-judgmental, and relaxed when getting to know one another and identifying goals for our work together. I have been working in the clinical field for over 25 years. I enjoy working with all age levels and feel comfortable working alongside a client to move through their personal struggles. I enjoy the clinical relationship and mutually working toward personal growth and obtaining one's goals.
After the initial session, and learning about a client and some of their background, I work to initiate a mutually acceptable starting point. Throughout our work together, I encourage setting personal goals that are specific, measurable, and can be adjusted, if needed, as our work continues.
When working with clients, I strive to provide a safe environment with an emphasis on respect, empowerment, open communication, trust, and encouragement.
