About Elena
Elena Melt is a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC). She received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Rutgers University-Newark and a Master of Arts in Clinical and Counseling Psychology from William Paterson University, graduating Summa Cum Laude from both institutions. Her passion is based on supporting adolescents and young adults through critical life transitions, helping them navigate school, life, and acute stressors while building authentic coping mechanisms and emotional regulation. Elena’s approach to treatment primarily emphasizes Person-Centered Therapy, creating a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients feel truly heard and empowered to lead their own healing journey. To support this growth, she integrates evidence-based tools including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)-informed interventions, comprehensive biopsychosocial assessments, and crisis de-escalation. With extensive experience in school-based clinical services, she blends deep empathy with strong advocacy to help young people discover their inner strengths and build resilience.
