Introduction

I’m Melissa Feinman, a social worker specializing in creating empowering and playful spaces for clients to reimagine their relationships to their bodies, to others, and ultimately, to themselves. While I take therapy and meeting your needs seriously, healing doesn’t always have to be serious business. Throughout our work together, I will invite you to play, explore, and find joy in healing. Whether you are struggling with body image issues, relational intimacy, or low self-esteem, I will help you clarify blockages, and bring creativity to the healing process. With loving curiosity and understanding, I’ve built a practice inclusive and affirming of the LGBTQ+ community, of all body sizes, and of non-traditional relationships. I look forward to finding creative paths forward in our work together!
