Melanie Sudia, LCSW

Hybrid Therapist

Melanie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who graduated with a Masters in Social Work from Rutgers University. She has over 8 years of experience working in the mental health field in areas such as Residential, Partial Hospitalization Programs, and Intensive Outpatient Programs. She works primarily with adolescents and adults, but has experience with all ages. Melanie provides sessions in person at our Freehold location and virtually throughout New Jersey through our telehealth portal.

“I believe that the relationship between the therapist and client is the cornerstone of effective care. While I take what I do very seriously, there is always room for levity in treatment. I love to learn and have grown from every therapeutic relationship I’ve ever had.”

Melanie has an approach that is compassionate, rapport focused, and dynamic. Her personality is very warm and welcoming. You will immediately feel seen and heard. Her specialties are Trauma, Women’s Issues, and Impulsivity; but she has thorough knowledge of general depression and anxiety, behavioral and personality disorders, relationships, grief, addiction, and self esteem. Melanie uses a handful of modalities after assessing what the best fit would be for the client, but she has a speciality in DBT and CBT.

“I meet the client where they are, versus trying to have them meet me.”
