Melissa is an amazing therapist! She just gets it. She hears you and responds… doesn’t wait for the usually “how does that make you feel” comments and is always ready with some guidance! I feel safe and heard and that doesn’t happen this quickly in one’s quest to find “the right one”. Very appreciative to have found her!!
10 out of 10!

Working with Melissa over the past few weeks and months has been transformative. She has helped me gain deeper self-awareness and the confidence to set clear, healthy boundaries, even with my family. I now better understand the motivations behind my actions and have been able to set a new precedent for how I prioritize my well-being. I’m incredibly grateful for Melissa’s guidance! Highly recommend!

I've only been with Melissa a few weeks but I can say that her skillset and expertise have been enlightening. She listens with a kind heart, probes with questions that allow for introspection and reflection, and allows you to speak without interruption, feeling rushed, or judged.
I've grown as a human in the short time I've received her input in my life, and I recommend her as a therapist. We need more like her!

Melissa Nadler is the counselor I've always needed. She's personable, prompt, and very intuitive. Each time I get a message from Melissa I end up crying a bit, either because the question she asks are touching and helps me see a part of myself that we can work on, or out of gratitude, as she will send messages when she hasn't heard from you to make sure you're okay. I'm very grateful to have Melissa as a counselor and I have recommended BetterHelp to several people based on my experiences with her.
