Melanie is the best! Very personable and relatable, and can identify what's bothering you even when you can't.

My counseling thus far with Melanie Bagaglio is going very well. Melanie has great insight, and has provided excellent guidance and advice. Melanie has been a great listener and has shown great patience, understanding, and restraint. Counseling online via written messaging only started approximately 4 weeks ago. It is my first time experiencing my own personal counseling. In just this short period of time I am already sharing some of the deepest, darkest details of my daughter's abuse from my ex-husband boyfriend. Melanie has enabled me in just this short period of time to feel comfortable in sharing these details and confident that Melanie can cope with these details and provide good feedback in response.

Melanie was very helpful to me at a time in my life when I was in a panic state, desperate, and didn't know where to turn or what to do.
I was able to vent to her and just by doing this, and knowing that someone CARED about me and what I was experiencing was a great gift. Melanie was very attentive and addressed my current state ( as it shifted daily, sometimes in a dramatic way even) in a calm, nonjudgemental way. Working with Melanie allowed me to see that  I can feel " safe" in the world. With her help, I was able to take a step back, examine some of my options for the challenges I was having, and also give myself a break by doing some self care. Melanie listened to me and very quickly ascertained the kind of person I am and what would give me the greatest benefit. By working with her, I was able to get a glimmer of hope once again, and that gift is priceless.

Melanie has been very attentive and helpful to me during a challenging time in my life. She has created a safe and secure relationship with me so that I feel I can share anything I need to with her. She has a gift of deep listening across the miles and encourages me on. With Melanie, I know I can get practical advice to apply daily. She also helps me think through situations and work on seeing myself more clearly. I highly recommend her.

Melanie has been a great resource. She is on point and has great suggestions. I know at any time I can just vent a bit and admit things I may not admit in person. I get no judgement and only support and suggestions. She holds me accountable and is helping me with insecurities and domestic abuse recovery.
