Melissa Kornitzer Counseling Services

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Last Updated 30+ days ago

Hi, I'm Melissa Kornitzer, LCSW and I help young adults with emotion regulation issues. I am a Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) counselor based in New Jersey and offer virtual individual and group sessions. I specialize in anxiety, addiction, and anger management but I use DBT for a wide variety of issues that affect mood and behavior. I provide support, feedback, and encourage you to build a toolbox to regulate your emotions so you can make different choices instead of relying on old behavior that is causing you pain. I'm direct, compassionate, and invested in helping you be the best version of you. You'll learn effective coping skills, become more resilient to stress, increase your ability to stay in the present, and be less afraid of the future. My clients who apply DBT tell me that their lives have gotten better and they don't feel hopeless anymore. Reach out to me if you're suffering and together we can create a life worth living. I accept several insurance plans and offer virtual sessions to students who live in New Jersey.
