Dr. Melissa Stolsig, Psy.D.
Clinical Psychologist, CA PSY30738/ CO PSY.0005510/ NYS 025532/ NV PY1137/ VA 0810008494/ FL TPPY1024
Dr. Stolsig, is a licensed clinical psychologist and the founder of Turning Point Psychology Center and the Stolsig Foundation. She provides telehealth care across California, Colorado, New York, Nevada, Virginia, and Florida, and has spent more than 15 years working with people in private practice, medical systems, correctional settings, community mental health, and residential treatment.
What stays constant across those settings is this: people already carry more capacity to heal than they are often given credit for. Therapy is the relationship in which that capacity can be found, named, and used.
Dr. Stolsig works from an existential-humanistic stance and draws on EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, and other evidence-based methods as they fit the person in the room. She specializes in chronic and developmental trauma, the psychological effects of medical illness and pain, anxiety and depression, and work that requires cultural curiosity rather than a one-size-fits-all script. She treats adults and, when clinically appropriate, children and adolescents; populations she commonly serves include LGBTQIA+ clients, people living with racial and intergenerational trauma, men, perinatal and postnatal clients, older adults, as well as active-duty service members, veterans, and their families.
New clients can expect a collaborative first meeting: a clear review of consent and goals, shared thinking about diagnosis and options, and a plan that does not require you to guess what happens next. To expand access, she also supervises associate clinicians in a team model—she stays closely involved at intake and in treatment planning, while much of the ongoing work may continue with a carefully trained associate in California or New York.
Her aim is simple: that you leave feeling seen, and that the path forward is more concrete than when you arrived.
