Mark Melillo, MS, LAADC, LCADC, EMDR, ICADC, CCTP, CYT-200, is a Licensed Advance Alcohol and Drug Counselor in the state of California and a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug counselor in the state of New Jersey, as well as a nationally certified and registered yoga teacher. Mark holds a master’s degree in human services from Capella University in Minneapolis, MN and an undergraduate degree in Organizational Behavior and Development from the University of North Texas. Mark is also an EMDRIA trained EMDR practitioner.

Mark enjoys working with clients from all walks of life, diverse cultures and backgrounds. After spending the first few years of my substance use and mental health counseling career in the traditional clinical setting as both a residential clinician/coordinator, outpatient clinician, and as an intensive outpatient director, he came to realize that the insight he gained from his personal and professional yoga practice and training is best conveyed within the integration of traditional psychotherapy, yoga, mindfulness, and other holistic therapies. His clients are guided and benefit from an increased focus on their personal health needs.

MarThe therapeutic treatments Mark utilizes are based on the individual, focusing on the underlying issues causing pain, using a combination of talk and holistic therapy including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Pranotthan Yoga (Utilizes the Koshas), Mindfulness Meditation, Somatic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement and Desensitization Therapy (EMDR),

Guided Meditation and movement re-education are portals to improved self-awareness and vitality. Instead of pacifying the symptoms of dysfunction, Mark assists the client in restoring required structural integrity so that the mind, body, and spirit can heal itself. Contemporary science finds common ground in ancestral wisdom time and again, and Mark is honored to be a part of this vital shift as a practitioner. In his work, he has been humbled by the results he has witnessed from relatively simple, practical, and natural techniques in working with clients.

Mark is incredibly thankful to work alongside the team at The Living Room at Princeton, where clinicians hold a safe space for clients and each other. His passion for serving has been rekindled by the wisdom and love he recognizes as the golden threads of The Living Room experience.
