Dr O is wonderful. She knows me, remembers our conversations and is great about giving me tools to work through my concerns. She explains concoin a way that makes sense to me. She is a treasure and I’m glad for the opportunity to work with her.

Finding a good therapist is kind of like dating. It sucks. But when you finally find the right one, life becomes SO much better. Keep looking for the one you jive with. Someone who supports you, encourages you and challenges you to do and be better! I'm so incredibly grateful that I was able to find Dr. Oleshansky, she is the therapist I have always been looking for and I appreciate our communication more than she will ever know!

Some people do therapy for a short period of time, but I prefer to always have a therapist as a way of maintaining my mental health. You would think that after a few years, I would tire of the same therapist. You would think they would run out of meaningful recommendations. That is not the case with Dr. O! Her insights and recommendations are thoughtful and evidence based. I have so much confidence in her expertise.

Dr Oh has been in my life for about three years now. On and off which is of my own doing. But she knows right where we left off. She is amazing and I consider her a life coach to me more than anything. I love our phone chats. Those are my favorite!

Dr. O has supported my personal growth and presences in many important relationships. Given my lengthy stream of conscious messages, Dr. O has a wonderful way of seeing the forest between the trees and asks thoughtful and reflective questions. I spoils recommend her skills and services to anyone seeking help.

I just started working with Dr. O and she is so great! I am so glad to have finally found a therapist that is bubbly and friendly and that can laugh with me, yet understands me and helps me get through hard things. Highly recommend Dr. O!

Dr.O is very attentive & communicates well, and I can tell she really wants to help, she offers me useful strategies and insight that makes a difference. I’m thankful to Dr.O as my therapist.

Even when asking questions she lets me know that by no means is she judging she just wants to find out more about me

Dr. O. has been extremely helpful during a transitional period in my life. She's a great listener and also knows the right time to interject and offer perspectives that I hadn't previously considered. I like her value-based therapy and using those values to guide difficult decisions. I would highly recommend Dr. O!

Has been helping me in a hard time in my life, asks the right questions for me to be able to help untangle thoughts and helps me put them into action. Wonderful and amazing therapist, couldent have asked for someone better~

Dr. O is an extremely caring, funny, and knowledgeable professional. She not only makes you feel like you’re speaking with a longtime trusted mentor, but she also provides meaningful and relevant information about medications, cognitive redirection, and the power of a healing spirit. Combined with her quick and powerful humor, I know Dr. O to be extremely helpful and consistent.

My review of Dr. O is easy because she is the very definition of who I need. She is there for me. That's reassuring and I know that I can trust her with my information. Some of the conversations we've had are sensitive and delicate. Dr. O is respectful of my feelings and I feel validated. I look forward to our sessions. She is open and honest and non judgmental. Thank you, Dr. O for all you do.

I've been writing with Dr. Oleshansky for at least year now and I'm still so grateful that BetterHelp paired me with her. I feel like she was a really good match for me, but she'd honestly probably be a good match for anyone. She really focuses on self care and what you can do to help yourself which I appreciate. She's not judgmental and she's always professional. I continue to be impressed by her abilities. I never feel like she just doesn't care or would rather be doing something else.

Dr. O is very attentive and understanding. She actually suggests actions you can take to come to a solution with whatever is bothering you and I really appreciate that.

Dr. O I’m does a tremendous job “listening” through my stream of conscious texts. I have grown tremendously from my experience with her. I didn’t know if an app as a platform would work for me, journaling and writing aren’t my forte, but it has been quick, convenient and helpful.

Dr. O is an amazing help when I really need it most. She gives me advice on almost any aspect of what I am dealing with, and that's so nice to have from someone! New to therapy and she is super inviting and kind. <3

Things are starting great and I appreciate being able to work with her.

Dr. O has been very helpful over the past few months. Between dealing with the stress of COVID as a healthcare provider and then dealing with a new pregnancy, followed by a miscarriage and a new job she has been very caring and has offered great advice to help me through challenging times. When I started using betterhelp I didn't realize how much I would go though in the coming months. I'm glad I've had Dr. O to help me through!

Dr. O has been an integral and critical part of me turning my life around. Coming out of addiction with an addled brain was bad enough, but then the pandemic. It helped my sanity knowing I had an outlet and a lifeline any time I needed it.

Dr. O has been extremely helpful in channeling the concerns and issues that I have. From re-thinking my word usage to making hard decisions to separate myself from things hindering my progress and growth, Dr.O has been great!

Dr. O is very professional and a great listener! I felt comfortable with her immediately. She listens to what I have to say and comes back with a question and it always gets me going. I love her positive feedback! She has helped me realize a lot of things and has help me deal with a lot of things I couldn’t do on my own. I highly recommend Dr. O for anyone seeking help!

Dr O has been so helpful. She gives me tasks to do so that I can change my world. She respects me and helps me to find a new way of looking at things. I wish I had done this years ago.

I can’t say much other than having a place for me to speak entirely freely and not have to stress or worry about being judged or looked down upon is incredibly relieving and helps keep me partially sane.

Dr. Oleshansky is a compassionate psychologist. If you're struggling with something or feel remorseful, she has a way of showing you a different perspective on the situation that can help relieve your pain or guilt. She provides worksheets to fill out and has you write in a gratitude journal so you can change your mindset for the better! Highly recommend.

As a nurse serving during the pandemic, my anxiety was at an all time high, complete with panic attacks and binge eating. After seeking counseling with Dr.O for a month, my anxiety level, positive thinking, and eating habits have immensely improved! Thank you, Dr.O for all of the support, attention to detail, and shoulder to cry on!

She is amazing!

I really enjoy working with Dr. Oleshansky. She has helped me so much in my journey towards better mental health.

Dr. Oleshansky is a terrific and very skilled therapist. She has helped me a great deal. I continue to profit from regular interactions with her.

Very timely, concise and compassionate in her care. I am not one to ask for help but I started to drown emotionally and physically due to a lot of variables thrown at me all at once. Dr. O. really helped me take charge and gain traction in a healthy way and I continue to work with her to offer stability in my life. I like BetterHelp and Dr. O. as I have an easy and effective way to engage in positive mental health activities at my own schedule and I am held accountable to self care. The five day per week check in works for me as I have resolved myself to listen to suggestions and work diligently towards stability with her help! I highly recommend Dr. O.!

Dr. O has been extremely helpful to me so far. I’ve been going through a really tough time lately, more so than usual and she’s given me steps to start working on reducing my stress and trying to get to some sort of normalcy. She’s kind, sensitive to my needs and very supportive.

Melissa is super awesome at responding to my needs and is well qualified to handle the intense trauma that I have been through in my life. She offers great suggestions on healthy ways to navigate my life.

I was hesitant at first about therapy but Dr. O has been supportive and I enjoy talking to her. I feel like I'm so worried about the past or the future and she's helping me focus on the present.

I’ve really enjoyed talking with Dr. O! I’ve tried other online counselors but she seems to be a good fit for me.

I was very reluctant to seek out help at first. Although BetterHelp is pretty much anonymous, it’s still hard for me to open up easily. In a short amount of time, Dr. O has made me feel very comfortable and supported. I already feel a positive change in my lifestyle.

Dr. Oleshansky is absolutely amazing. I feel like she listens, supports and guides fantastically without being pushy. She’s very positive and asks me to explore thoughts and feelings in a constructive way.
