Melissa Kwiatkowski
I value curiosity and connection. I entered this field with an understanding that taking care of our minds is essential to living healthy, fulfilling lives. I believe an important element of a healthy mind is healthy supports. I place emphasis on building a collaborative relationship, where with warmth and some good humor we can figure out together what a healthy mind might look like for you.
I utilize techniques from Cognitive behavioral therapy and ACT. We will work together to begin to unravel patterns in thinking and behavior and learn new skills for healthier living.
Every individual is unique and therefore I value being eclectic in my style and approach. My intent is to create an authentic , compassionate, space where growth occurs.
I am a therapist at Octave, a behavioral health practice creating a new standard for mental health care that’s both high-quality and accessible. To learn more about my availability, please reach out to our Client Experience team by emailing or calling.
