Melissa is nothing short of amazing. She listens and offers a wide variety of help. I can’t say enough good things about her. She is genuinely caring. I feel safe in talking with her. She is genuine and you can truly see how she cares about you. She explains everything thoroughly. She asks if it’s ok to go over suggestions before she dives in. She cares about my feedback. I’ve had 2 sessions with her and I truly feel like I’m progressing. I’m looking forward to the future because of how she’s already helping me. She’s truly amazing. I would recommend her to anyone looking for help. She will not disappoint you.

I can’t say enough good things about Melissa. I look forward to our sessions every week and use the tools she has taught me daily. She has made such a positive impact on my mental health and quality of life. I have shared multiple tools with my friends and family and have seen the positive impact they have made outside of myself. Melissa makes me feel heard and seen in a way I haven’t felt before. She gives me a safe space to share my struggles. I have never felt judged and hope everyone finds their Melissa. I truly can’t recommend her enough.

Melissa is the best therapist I’ve ever had. She’s exactly what I was looking for. She’s incredibly respectful and a great active listener. She always gives me great, practical tools. She never makes me feel judged, and always makes me feel like I can trust her. She doesn’t talk about herself too much, but provides good relatable examples so I know I’m not alone in my human experience. The icing on this cake is knowing she has her pets in the room- I SO appreciate having bonus therapy animals in my appointment!❤️
So grateful to Better Help for this perfect match.
