These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Melissa Gaudio. 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.
I feel like I've made leaps and bounds of progress in the time I've had Melissa in my corner. And, part of why she's such a gift is that she leaps and bounds along with me! She's always ready to take whatever turn, or whatever detour, or even retrace old steps with me. I KNOW Melissa is in my corner, and I feel that bolstering. I am in another world of emotional stability than I was when we started. Melissa is the best combination tour guide and tourist, depending on where my journey takes us at any given moment. I couldn't have asked for better.

Melissa is probably the best therapist I have ever had. I have always struggled connecting with someone, but Melissa is super supportive and a great listener. I find that she does a great job of suggesting coping strategies. Thank you Melissa!

I rarely give 5 stars ( on a 1-5 scale). But Melissa is top notch. I'd give her 6's if I could. She listens very well, uses information from prior stories which gives me confidence that she listens well and cares about my outcomes.
