These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Brenda S Melton. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
She is amazing person who I was truly lucky enough to have through probably the worst time in my life. She’s so supportive and makes me feel important and listens to me. She makes me feel like we’ve known each other for years and it’s only been months. If you’re lucky enough to have her help you in your life, realize she really will.

Dr. Melton really knows how to listen. And she gives the best advice or detailed information about you and or your situation. She speaks truth and facts. But in a way that isn’t harmful. She’s very peaceful. She knows how to define situations. She’s a very caring person.
