Melissa Yanovitch PsyD

I am passionate about helping people who are experiencing thoughts that scare or confuse them, or are engaging in behaviors they feel are getting in the way of their lives. So often, people with OCD symptoms feel helpless, and I’m honored to be your guide in taking back control and finding your path to a meaningful life. I recently transitioned to full time private practice after working in hospitals for many years, and am currently in the process of building my caseload. I hope to reserve approximately half of my practice for patients with OCD.

I received training and supervision in the treatment of OCD during my fellowship at VA Boston in 2018. Additionally, I completed a 3-day training at the Center for Anxiety Behavioral Therapy (CABT) in January 2021, which included post-training supervision of cases with the instructors. Since then, I have worked with OCD patients at the Manhattan VA, as well as in my private practice.

I offer individual therapy for adults ages 18+.

I offer culturally-responsive individual therapy, taking into account the unique cultural contexts that have shaped my patients’ lives.

I am honored to offer a safe and non-judgmental environment for people of all gender identities, sexual orientations and family structures. I practice anti-racism and anti-oppression, and am BIPOC-allied.
