These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Melissia Bennett. 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.
Melissia Bennett helped me tremendously through a very dark, down period in my life. She helped me recognize once again that I had value, was reasonable, and wasn't asking for impossible things from myself or others. She used humor and honest candor to help me work through the things that made me feel stuck and move forward. I highly recommend Melissia Bennett, and I am so grateful for her.

Melissia Bennett is a GODsent! In the time that I was with her, she helped me to understand and deal with the life of trauma that I had been masking for 45 years while giving me the tools and knowledge to be very present in my day to day life.
She was always very patient and professional with me, especially during times that I wasn't the easiest to deal with.
I thank GOD for her daily and kudos to you BetterHelp for having such an amazing member of your staff!

So far I've only had one session with Melissia, and it went very well. She got me thinking about stuff about myself that I never would have. I will continue sessions with her. I highly recommend Melissia.
