About

Melissa Divaris Thompson, MA

I am an LMFT with a private practice in Midtown, NYC, and Hastings on Hudson, NY offering holistic and integrative psychotherapy.

My role as a therapist is to support my clients in finding wholeness- body, mind, and spirit. I am an authentic, integrated, and somatic therapist who blends east and west ways of working. I help my clients feel more connected with their bodies and in tune with their needs and intuition.

My passion is working with individuals and couples in their 20′s and 30′s who are struggling with finding their authentic voice. I also run a new mom's support group and work with women who are pregnant or have had a baby.

I studied at Integral Counseling Psychology at The California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco. I am trained in a body-centered (Somatic) psychotherapy (Hakomi), Psychodynamics, and AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) which focuses on healing the wounded parts of ourselves through healthy attachment.

My work is informed by many years of studying Buddhist meditation, reiki, dance, yoga, and travel.

Services In allowing ourselves to feel, we create a space within to open and grow. In our busy lives, we often times forget our true nature and end up feeling stuck, tired, anxious and unhappy.

As a holistic and depth oriented therapist, my role is to support my clients in finding wholeness — mind, body, and spirit — creating more joy, ease, and healthy relationships. I help my clients remember their empowered authentic voice and “tap back in” to their true self.

Every client is unique, and my work is based on the individual. Through an intuitive, interactive, experiential, and collaborative approach, I help my clients cultivate a deepening of compassion for themselves and others.

In a safe and warm environment, my clients are able to explore their past and their present, to understand what’s missing in their life, what they truly yearn for, and what is keeping them apart from that. Through this exploration, my clients are able to express their inner most desires, bringing more peace, balance, and happiness to their lives.
