Hi! My name is John Zufall, LCSW. I go by my middle name, Mel. I have over 20 years of experience working with diverse populations including clients dealing with addictions, depression, anxiety, OCD, and LGBTQIA+ issues, among others. While my approach to therapy is a cognitive behavioral approach, I believe therapy is best when tailored to the specific needs of the client. Like many in this field, my own experience in therapy was a major influence in terms of my wanting a career as a therapist. The therapeutic process can be such a powerful tool in terms of personal growth and leading a successful life

As a New Yorker, does it feel like you’re stuck in a cycle of depression and anxiety, no matter how hard you try to create change on your own?

Your poor mental health is getting in the way of progress at work and maybe even impeding your ability to enjoy your relationships. You know there is more and want to finally meet a therapist to break through counterproductive patterns that keep you from a vibrant personal and professional life. I’m here to help. Let's start now.

You might look like you have it together on the outside, but internally, your mind doesn’t slow down. You replay conversations, overthink decisions, and feel stuck in patterns, especially in relationships, that you don’t fully understand and can’t seem to change.
Many of the people I work with are in their 20s and 30s, navigating anxiety, dating, career pressure, and major life transitions. Even when things seem “fine,” it can feel exhausting to constantly second-guess yourself, feel emotionally overwhelmed, or question your direction.

My approach to therapy is person-centered; meaning that therapy is for you and defined by you. I aim to create a supportive, affirming, and warm therapeutic environment where you feel comfortable to show up authentically as you are. I believe that the best therapeutic work is done when you feel calm, respected, and heard by your therapist. My therapeutic style is eclectic and draws from several evidence-based modalities including Rogerian, Relational and Narrative Therapy. I also incorporate skills from CBT and DBT into my practice.
