These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Melissa Marshall-Allen. 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.
Melissa is a life saver. I can’t find the words to thank her for what she has done for me. She gives me get advise which I follow and it has worked every single time. I don’t know how she does it but God bless this lady.
