Leslie Shapiro, LICSW

Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker

Hi, I’m Melina! 

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with a passion for supporting children, adolescents, and families with professional interests in ADHD, mood/anxiety disorders, and PTSD. 

My experiences have been in school, congregate care, and hospital settings which have provided me with a robust understanding of the mental health system and the unique feelings, perspectives, and needs of the population I supported. 

I utilize a strengths-based and collaborative approach while integrating evidence-based modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy to empower youth and their families. 

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, traveling, and being active!
