Melanie Lucanie, LCSW

Fairfield Location (She/Her)

I'm Melanie, a licensed clinical social worker in Connecticut and New York. I congratulate you for prioritizing the time to care for yourself. Seeking therapy can be an intimidating task, as we often have to open up, speak to and challenge parts of ourselves we've tucked away. Perhaps you have experienced a big life transition and are seeking helping navigating this next chapter. Perhaps you have noticed the same patterns emerging in your relationships or find yourself going to the same old, familiar place to keep your head above the water. These roads can feel isolating on your own. I would be honored to join you, working together to create a healthy space to heal.

My approach incorporates the concept that we all "feel" differently and a lot can impact that- everything from our past experiences, our family dynamic, the communities we identify with, and the "mental load" we carry each day. Additionally, I have experience and passion working with navigating ADHD and autism as an adult, parenting, perinatal mental health, health at every size and working with LGBTQIA+ populations. I am committed to continuing to grow as an advocate, remain steadfastly compassionate, and provide comfort and encouragement to clientele.

I recognize that many concerns, although similar at times, are multi faceted and not "one size fits all". Let us work together as a team to bring you to a place where you feel like yourself again. My goal is to meet you where you are, empower you and guide you to your strength. Reach out to Small Victories Wellness to set up an intake appointment with me to begin. I await the opportunity to support you in your growth.
