Hello! I am Melany Quintero, Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 7 years of experience in the mental health field. I'm bilingual. I have an Master’s in Social Work (MSW) and completed licensure in Clinical Social Work. I bring a strong educational and professional foundation to my work, specializing in treating mood disorders, stress, and anxiety, as well as helping clients navigate life-changing events, grief, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). My approach is rooted in evidence-based interventions, complemented by a commitment to offering compassionate support and sharing practical knowledge to empower my clients on their healing journey.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
"Our first session is an opportunity to begin building a supportive and collaborative relationship. During this time, we’ll explore what brings you to therapy, discuss your personal history, and identify your goals for our work together. I’ll explain how the therapy process works, including what you can expect from our sessions, and answer any questions you may have. This initial meeting is also a chance for us to ensure that you feel comfortable and supported in this space. Together, we’ll set the foundation for a therapeutic journey tailored to your unique needs, helping you move toward greater clarity, resilience, and personal growth."
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
"My practice is rooted in over seven years of experience in the mental health field, during which I have cultivated a unique approach that blends warmth, compassion, and a clear focus on your goals. I strive to create an open, nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe to explore your thoughts and emotions authentically. My aim is to meet you where you are, providing thoughtful guidance and support as you navigate challenges and work toward meaningful growth. In our sessions, you’ll find an environment that honors your individuality and encourages you to embrace your true self while building the skills to thrive."

VirtualMy treatment methods
EMDR
"I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a proven therapeutic approach to help clients heal from trauma and distressing life experiences. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation, to facilitate the brain’s natural healing processes, reducing the emotional intensity of painful memories and fostering lasting relief. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space for clients to process their experiences and achieve greater emotional well-being."
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
"I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. By working collaboratively, we explore practical tools and strategies to reframe thinking, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and create meaningful changes in daily life. My approach is compassionate and goal-oriented, tailored to support clients in building resilience and achieving their personal and emotional growth."
