Trust Talk Heal

I'm Melvinik Simmons and I am honored that you stopped by my website.

 

Who is Melvinik?

Born and raised in Brownsville Brooklyn New York, I truly come from humble beginnings.  Growing up in a single parent household in the projects of Brooklyn was challenging. Where I came from makes me the person I am today.  I saw everything that you can imagine, drugs, violence, even witnessing my childhood friend who jumped off a building. I knew at a young age people were "broken and felt helpless".   My passion and mission have been to inspire people and work with them to achieve their goals. I am not only a therapist, but I care a great deal about my clients who I work with.  "I am you and you are me" My mission is to help heal broken hearts. I have been through a lot of what you may be going through, and I am here to tell you that healing is possible.  ​

 

How did she get to where she is? 

"My mother " who encouraged me to believe in myself in spite of my environment.   

Attended F.L Music and Art H.S in Manhattan. -to be a professional singer. 

Attended Long Island University in Brooklyn N.Y.- to be a Televison/Radio personality.

Attended Hunter College School of Social Work -to become who I am today.

Sometimes what you plan for your life may not be your destiny. I have been in the helping profession for over 20 years. was a social worker for several foster care agencies, a supervisor for a crisis unit, a counselor for YMCA, and a therapist for several years at Richmond University Medical Center and St Luke University Health Network.

However, I knew I had more to offer people who were suffering in silence, so I left the work force and started my own private practice, and I am grateful that I did. 

 

What can she offer you?

My dedication and commitment to your mental health.  A way to talk about your presenting issues, trust the therapeutic process, and heal. I have an integrative approach where I combine different styles, modalities and methods to promote wellness. I don't have a "one size fit's all approach" I immediately like to start where my clients are and offer a non-judgmental platform where they are able to talk in a safe environment.  Most of my clients leave their sessions feeling like they gained insight, learned more about themselves and are making the progress needed.
