Melissa Di Fonzo

Psychotherapist, Social Worker
Profile

Known for her authenticity, warmth and down-to-earth personality, Melissa will create a safe space for you to explore your inner thoughts and emotions. She will point out your blind spots and compassionately reflect to you the things that you might have difficulties bringing awareness to on your own. She doesn’t shy away from challenging situations, whether they are from your past or they arise in therapy.

With her lifelong passion for learning and growing, through her ongoing academic pursuits which she regularly explores to hone her skills as a psychotherapist, having well over a decade of experience working in the therapy field, and overcoming personal mental health challenges, Melissa has accumulated a wealth of knowledge and practical experience to effectively and efficiently support your healing process.
