Nice to meet you 😊
We all go through ups and downs and sometimes we need assistance to push through!
I am a proud 2020 graduate of Lehman College school of Social Work. I obtained my LMSW in 2021 and have been providing therapy to all ages from 5-65+. Focusing primarily on teens and young adults, I have refined my practice in treating anxiety, stress, depression and relationship issues. With experience in a school setting, court involved individuals and outpatient clinics, I can provide unique expertise in treatment. Mental health is just as important as physical health, and you can’t reach your full potential if you are not taking care of both.
Dr. Melanie Eckhoff works with adolescents and adults. Many of Dr. Eckhoff’s clients come in to address depression, anxiety, ADHD, personality disorders, and/or trauma. She also has advanced training in the areas of PTSD and BPD. Dr. Eckhoff is trained in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
Taking the first step and attending the initial session can be scary. Understanding this feeling, I provide my clients with warmth, empathy and a safe place to share. I have been working in this field for over 20 years and hold a doctorate in psychology and a Masters in Social Work and psychology. I work with most aged groups and treat depression, bipolar, anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, PTSD, substance abuse, bereavement issues, work/school related stress and relationship/family issues. We will work together to meet your goals.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in New York
Searching for therapists in New York means choosing from a wide range of licensed professionals across urban, suburban, and rural areas. Your options may vary depending on where you live, what kind of support you want, and whether you prefer in-person or virtual sessions. If you’re looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions, start by looking for a therapist whose listed specialties match your needs. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Location and schedule matter, too. A therapist in New York City may offer different appointment options than one in Buffalo, Albany, or the Hudson Valley, and virtual therapy can help broaden your search beyond nearby offices. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others prefer the flexibility of virtual appointments from home. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer free phone consultations, and how they describe their session style. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how a therapist communicates, what they focus on, and whether their approach fits what you’re looking for.
The cost of mental health care in New York varies, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps make that process easier by showing therapists who are accepting new patients, verifying your insurance, and estimating your out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with 100+ insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage based on your location and specific plan. Browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
