  • “I’ve been working with Melissa Kornitzer for two years and she is a life saver. She listens intently, offers genuine solutions, and helps me work out my issues at my own pace. She has helped me through many trials and helped me become a better person. I can’t thank her enough and I highly recommend her as a therapist.”

  • “I came into therapy because I was living with anger all the time. Every little thing frustrated me, and my family asked me to go to therapy. Initially I was not engaged in the process and didn’t want to be there, but Melissa helped me feel heard and understood. She offered support but also challenged me on my old patterns of behavior. After only six months I was calmer, less angry when the answer is ‘no,’ and overall improved my quality of life.”

  • “I am grateful I found Melissa to work with when I was at my lowest moment having daily panic attacks and barely able to function. I didn’t struggle with my mental health prior to Covid but once the switch got flipped it was difficult to flip it back. Melissa offered a combination of distress tolerance skills for when the panic attacks were happening and the hope that with continued treatment, I could overcome panic disorder. I was afraid it would never stop but Melissa helped me take it a day at a time until I improved. I still work with Melissa to cope with everyday struggles but I’m not sick like I was. She’s a gifted therapist and essential for mental health treatment.”
