Melanie Mullins , LMHC, LPC

Melanie Mullins is a licensed mental health counselor with eight years of clinical experience who brings a calm, nonjudgmental presence to each therapeutic relationship. She emphasizes listening and understanding as the foundation for change, creating a space where clients can name their experiences and work through difficult feelings. Her training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and to manage everyday stress.

Melanie holds dual licensure as an LMHC and an LPC - LMHC stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor and LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor - and she is credentialed to practice in both New York and Connecticut. She uses evidence-based practices to support, encourage, educate, and empower people facing trauma, grief, relationship challenges, addictions, and a variety of life transitions. Melanie has particular experience working with active duty soldiers and Veterans, applying tailored approaches that respect military culture and the unique stressors of service.

Rather than prescribing a single solution, she collaborates with clients to find areas where they can exert control and to build concrete strategies that make daily life more manageable and more meaningful. Her goal is to help clients increase resilience, improve coping skills, and move toward a life that feels more satisfying.
