Meet Dr. Melissa Gluck

Founder & Psychologist

 
 

Hi, I’m Dr. Melissa Gluck, but you can just call me Melissa.

I know therapy can feel intimidating, but I promise it doesn’t have to be. I’m here to help you untangle the overthinking, navigate tricky relationships, and actually feel good about yourself.

I grew up feeling the weight of perfectionism, always trying to keep the peace, make others comfortable, and shape myself into who I thought I was supposed to be. People-pleasing became second nature. But when I finally stepped into therapy for myself, everything shifted. I realized I didn’t have to hold it all together. I could be messy, imperfect, and, most importantly, enough, just as I am.

That’s why I do this work. I want you to know you don’t have to follow the script life handed you. You get to write your own.

Specialties: Perfectionism · People-Pleasing · Burnout & Work Stress · Relationships & Attachment Patterns · Anxiety & Overthinking · Life Transitions · Complex Family Dynamics

 
 
 
 

About Our Team


At Gluck Psychology Collective, we believe therapy should be affordable, accessible, and tailored to you. That’s why we offer the unique opportunity to work with our Clinical Fellows—highly trained therapists-in-training—at a reduced rate. You’ll get thoughtful, compassionate care grounded in the latest clinical practices, all under the close supervision of experienced licensed psychologists. It’s quality therapy that won’t break the bank.

Here’s why working with one of our Clinical Fellows could be an amazing fit:

  • It’s no secret that therapy can be expensive, and that’s why working with a Clinical Fellow offers a more budget-friendly option while still getting the same high-quality support. Therapy isn’t just for those who can afford it—it should be for everyonetext goes here

  • Studies show that graduate student therapists often deliver results just as good as those from fully licensed providers. We’re all about creating a supportive and relatable space where you can get the care you need, whenever you need it.

  • Our therapists are in their 20s and 30s - they get where you’re coming from. Whether it’s sorting through a situationship, feeling the pressure of social media, or grappling with your self-worth, you’ll be talking to someone who genuinely understands.

  • Our Clinical Fellows are supervised and mentored by our Founder, Dr. Melissa Gluck, ensuring you get top-notch support every step of the way. You’ll have your session solo with your therapist—in other words, no supervisors are sitting in.

  • With a caseload of just 5-10 clients per week, our Clinical Fellows have the bandwidth to offer flexible scheduling, deep-dive attention, and off-session availability. Compare that to licensed therapists juggling 30+ clients, where it’s harder to find the space for those extra touchpoints.


At Gluck Psychology Collective, we're committed to making therapy personal, real, and accessible to help you thrive—without breaking the bank.

MEET CLINICAL FELLOW

OLIVIA Newman

Warm · Curious · Empathetic · Collaborative

Hi, I’m Olivia. I show up to therapy with compassion, curiosity, and flexibility—ready to meet you wherever you are. You’re the expert of your own story, and together we’ll explore what’s most pressing to you, identify underlying patterns, build strategies that feel personal and sustainable, or simply reflect together. We’re often hardest on ourselves—and sometimes, we need someone else to help us recognize our strengths or uncover the unconscious patterns that are shaping our lives, so we can begin to take back control. I will be your cheerleader and provide a safe outlet for you, where you can let go of the fear of disappointing someone and learn to accept & love your authentic self.

Sky Funkhouser

Warm · Grounded · Insightful · Collaborative

Hi, I’m Sky.I’m here to help you slow down, tune in, and make sense of whatever feels overwhelming. Whether your mind feels like it’s running nonstop or you’re stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, therapy with me is a space to breathe, explore, and reconnect with yourself. I show up with curiosity, warmth, and real presence—not just nodding along, but asking thoughtful questions, offering tools, and moving at a pace that feels safe. I offer reflections, ask thoughtful questions, and stay curious about what’s coming up. I also integrate mindfulness and breath work when it feels helpful, so our work can include not just your thoughts, but your body and intuition too.
