I have worked in mental health, community programs, and the criminal justice system, and I bring both hands-on clinical experience and leadership roles to my practice

Hello! I'm Miri Salamone Burnett, and I'm here to be a direct, compassionate, and collaborative partner in your journey toward change.
I specialize in helping adults, elders, couples, and families who are struggling with Trauma, Stress disorders, navigating Addiction and Recovery, and addressing complex Mood and Relationship Challenges (including anxiety, depression, grief, and family conflict). My goal is simple: to help you move past what’s holding you back and build lasting resilience. I offer services in English and intermediate Spanish.
Hello, I’m Melissa Alcaide, LCSW. I have worked in human services since 2009, supporting individuals through a wide range of personal and life challenges. My professional experience includes providing supportive counseling in correctional settings, outpatient mental health services for individuals living with serious mental illness, housing and homelessness services, and helping people navigate complex systems and life transitions. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work, a Master’s degree in Human Services Leadership, and a degree in Paralegal Studies.
Today, I am especially passionate about helping individuals struggling with anxiety, OCD, relationship concerns, self-esteem, life transitions, and building greater confidence in themselves and their decisions.
You've been carrying something heavy — maybe for years. The kind of weight that doesn't show on the outside but makes everything feel harder: getting through a workday, trusting people, feeling safe in your own body. Whether you're navigating trauma, PTSD, OCD, depression, or anxiety — or healing from experiences of sexual or physical abuse — you don't have to keep managing this alone. I work with adults across New York, including women, Black and multicultural clients, and LGBTQ+ individuals who are done shrinking and ready for something to actually shift.
I want clients to know that I’m warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative in my approach. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all style of therapy, so I try to meet each person where they are and adjust based on what they need in the moment.
I use both talk therapy and art therapy, and you don’t need any experience with art for it to be helpful. Sometimes words are enough, and other times it can be easier to express things through creative work, either way is okay.
My style is supportive but also practical. I like helping clients understand what they’re feeling, build coping skills they can actually use day-to-day, and gently work through patterns that feel stuck or overwhelming.
Most importantly, I aim to create a space where you don’t feel judged, rushed, or pressured, just supported at your own pace.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Auburn, NY
Searching for therapists in Auburn starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, work stress, or a life transition. As you compare Auburn therapists, review their listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience with concerns like yours. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions, communicate, and help you understand what working together may look like.
In a smaller city like Auburn, local in-person therapy options may be more limited than in larger parts of New York. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in New York. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, scheduling flexibility, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare Auburn counseling services by approach, availability, and fit.
Therapy in Auburn can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront. You can browse therapists in Auburn, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
