Melissa Russiano, LCSW, LISW 
Hello! My name is Melissa Russiano and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Professor with over twenty-four years of experience in the field. As a big believer in resiliency and being truly authentic, my career has been focused on working with women to achieve personal empowerment, a solid self-identity grounded in truth, and achieving the goals they have identified in order to be able to thrive. Due to technology, I am excited to be able to expand my clinical practice to any client within the three states that I am licensed in via a HIPPA compliant virtual platform. In addition, my coaching practice has expanded nationally, as well as into Canada, which has been amazing to reach beyond the boundaries of Erie, Pennsylvania.
