If you need a safe place for saying things out loud, I may be able to help. It is my honor as a therapist to hear and to seek understanding of your journey without judgment. The resulting relationship can have immense therapeutic value and is foundational in my approach. My training in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy allows me to help you sort through the stuff of life to discover ways to reduce depression and anxiety. There are places in your life where you do have control - let's find them together and create strategies to make life more enjoyable for you.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Wanted to share that Melanie was very helpful. She listened to my concerns and issues and was able to help me sort them out and get a better understanding of what was going on.

Melanie is awesome. Whenever I have something I just need to talk out she’s there AND has invested the time to know everything that’s going on with me.

Melanie Mullin’s is extremely professional, caring and most importantly, attentive. I haven’t been using this app for a long time, but in the last few weeks that I have been, my counselor Melanie has shown me that she IS listening to what I have to say. I have been in therapy multiple times in my life and she is one of the only therapists that I can say is actually hearing what I have to say. I always felt like I was being judged instead of being listened to, but not with Melanie! I highly recommend this app to anyone seeking to improve their mental health or even if they’re just looking for someone to talk to that will actually hear them out. And for anyone that does decide to try and improve their mental health by using this app, I HIGHLY recommend Melanie Mullins. She is an excellent counselor.

Having Melanie Mullins as a counselor has been so helpful in my journey to self healing. It is so easy to be open and honest. She never judges and gives so much insight. I am truly grateful to be working with her and look forward to continuing my path to being a happier and healthy person.

Melanie is extremely down to earth and objective. She really takes the time to see things from your point of view and help you as many ways as she can. She also touches base with you when she hasn’t heard from you in a bit and is used to hearing from you daily. She’s very understanding, but also straightforward in an extremely respectful manner. I’ve never had someone who I felt really took the time to get to understand me and my needs as much as her. She’s human and treats you as another human instead of just a patient.
