FEATURED IN

Hi! I’m Melissa Tract, a Long Island therapist for kids, teens, and young adults.

LCSW | MSW | B.A. Psych

I’m glad you’re here, taking this important step. Searching for the right therapist can feel daunting, and as you explore my site, I hope you'll feel more at ease.

My approach is rooted in a deep understanding of the challenges we face at pivotal life stages, from growing up to embracing adulthood.

And my background in theatre enables me to integrate creative expression into our sessions, such as music, movement, or just a bit of humor as we work through the serious and lighter sides of life. If my approach resonates with you, I’d love to connect!
