Melissa D. Volchok, MA, LMFT

Licensed Clinical Psychologist

One of the things that I love most about being a Marriage and Family Therapist is being able to help people make the changes they want to have in their lives. It is a special thing to get to help other people in a real way, in a way that can empower a person, couple, or family to live their best lives, whatever that means to them (healing pain, gaining hope, or realizing goals), with compassion and understanding, and without judgment. I am honored to be the person that gets to take this journey with others. Contact me today to learn more and schedule a session.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in private practice in Northridge, California. I work with individuals, children, adolescents, couples, and families. I have a certification in Anger Management. I am also a certified School Counselor and a counselor in Child Welfare and Attendance. Contact me today to learn more and schedule a session.
