Mellisa Nicole-Fergus

Hi! I'm Mellisa Nicole-Fergus, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 27 years of experience helping children, teens, adults, and families navigate life's challenges. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional and behavioral concerns, family conflict, school concerns, and life transitions. I welcome individuals from all backgrounds and strive to provide compassionate, individualized, and culturally responsive care. As a bicultural clinician and conversational Spanish speaker, I also provide culturally sensitive services to Spanish-speaking clients and families. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and personalized, utilizing evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Informed Care, play-based interventions, and family-centered approaches. As a Northeast Family Services Telehealth Outpatient Clinician, I look forward to partnering with you in a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space to build on your strengths, overcome challenges, and achieve your personal goals one step at a time.
