These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Melisa Maling. 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.

Melisa has helped me with many of the challenges that I have been having throughout my life. She met me where I was at which has allowed for me to focus on specific things that I needed to work on, and ultimately allowing me to make the changes that I needed to. She is a great part of my support system and very knowledgeable. I can’t thank her enough for everything she has done for me so far it really means a lot to have someone helping you in your corner throughout this wild adventure we call life!!

Melisa is an amazing listener, gives great feedback, and is extremely well versed. She knows how to make me feel comfortable in uncomfortable situations and respects the organic trajectory of the conversation.

I have never felt so validated in my life before.

I've seen many therapists throughout my life, but nothing compares to how much my sessions with Melissa are helping me.
Thank you, Melissa ☆!
