Dr. Meletta continued her commitment to the field of mental health by embarking on her doctorate degree at the School of Mind-Body Medicine at Saybrook University completing her Ph.D. in Integrative Mental Health. In 2020, she submitted her dissertation on the transformative effects of yoga for leader self-development. Dr. Meletta presently lives in Los Angeles where she has been clinically licensed in California to operate her current private practice since 2020. She continues to hold active licenses as a clinical therapist in the states of Rhode Island and California.

 

Dr. Meletta is a clinical supervisor who specializes in body-oriented (somatic) psychotherapy, trauma, mind-body medicine and leadership, and psychedelic assisted psychotherapy. Her approach to therapy is rooted in humanism, psychodynamics, depth psychology, and existentialism. Having completed over 500+ hours of yoga training over the past two decades, Dr. Meletta is also trained in the therapeutic modalities of EMDR trauma treatment, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Core Energetics Body Oriented Psychotherapy, and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, as well as deep self-study in Internal Family Systems. Additionally, Dr. Meletta has received her first level certification by the Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) for MDMA assisted psychotherapy and she is presently studying under the tutelage of Dr. Gabor Mate learning his Compassionate Inquiry approach to healing.

 

One of Dr. Meletta’s great joys is teaching students and supervising pre-licensed therapists. She is presently adjunct faculty at Saybrook University teaching graduate students mind-body medicine and body-oriented psychotherapy and in Spring 2023, she will begin a position as adjunct faculty in the Psy.D. Department at California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco.

 

Dr. Meletta also loves to sharing her passion and research on mind-body leadership with executives and organizational teams and can be found facilitating, speaking, and coaching in the corporate space. But whether you meet her on the therapy couch, supervision session, classroom, or boardroom, Dr. Meletta is always committed to helping people understand the depth within themselves so that they may make intentional choices to live authentic lives. Her style of working with people is empathetic, compassionate, non-judgmental, and fiercely loving, as she understands the many facets of being human, and what it takes to align the self to our center, where we can live most fully.
