Melissa is amazing! She listens to my concerns and helps me work through my problems with strategies that I can reuse when needed. She really cares about helping me to be a better me. :)

Melissa is amazing at being both realistic and caring at the same time. I have never once felt like I couldn’t be honest with her, even when I was at my worst. Melissa is great at helping me keep my goals realistic, but still a good place to be.

Still great after all these years.

Love her

Great to have her

Melissa is amazing! She understands how I think and knows just what to say to help me either change my thinking for the better or realize that I am doing well with the therapy. I would highly recommend her!

Very helpful and thoughtful of your concerns, she listens and provides valuable information I highly recommend her!

She is amazing. She has helped me so much with handling my stress and depression. She's given me so many techniques to use and I'm doing so much better because of her help!

wonderful at listening and giving feedback. i’m glad i was matched with Melissa!

She's an amazing listener and she always has great strategies and advice to help.

Has really helped me

I ended up switching to Melissa after several others, but I have now been with Melissa for a year or two now. Melissa has helped with a variety of on going problems and new issues that have arisen since I have known her and since the pandemic has started. I highly recommend her for anyone who is genuinely struggling. She's patient without being matronizing, and is one of only two therapists who actually have bothered to check in with me when I haven't sent a message in days or even weeks, like she actually cares about beyond just her job.

Melissa is amazing. She listens to my concerns and takes the time to help me through them so that I can grow. She really cares and wants to give me the strategies to improve my life and mindset.

Melissa is a great counselor who makes it easy to share. Its great that she encourages me to message her between our sessions and thoughtfully responds. We're still working through goals and strategies, but I'm excited for what's to come(:

She's helping me connect with the healthiest version of myself.

Melissa is very timely in her responses. I am still new to this program, but I know that I fully trust her and she is here to listen and help me through whatever I am dealing with. She is a true professional

My experience with Melissa has been nothing short of wonderful. totally present and professional. She helped me navigate through the hardest emotional pain in my life.

She is intuitive and supportive in a job judgement way!

Melissa has been absolutely amazing. She has always been very attentive and has successfully addresses all of my concerns and made any goals very clear. I can’t recommend her enough!

Melissa is not my first counselor, but she is one of the better ones that I have ever had. She's very attentive, and even when I can't pay for my counseling, she lets me set up so I can come back and work with her again, when I can pay for it. She's been incredibly helpful.

Melissa is a sensitive and grounded counselor. Her listening ear and kind guidance really works for me. I value our sessions and benefit from her presence.

I love Melissa. She is amazing and I don't know what I was doing without her.

She is awesome!

She is clear and direct and I feel like she really listens and understands the things I need help with

Sometimes she just remembers what we were talking about last session, and checks in with me to see if I’m okay. It’s above and beyond... I mean, I’m having a hard time thinking of anyone else I knows who’s done that. She always answers right away, and even with the disconnect of talking on the phone, it always feels like she’s listening. Thank you :)

Although I haven’t been talking with Melissa very long, she’s helped target some really serious issues I need to handle almost immediately. It’s great having someone to talk to and having the option of video chatting (which I haven’t done but hope to do so in the near future). I’m very happy with BetterHelp so far!

Melissa is wonderful and so understanding. She never makes me feel judged and helps me learn more about my struggles every session.

I feel so lucky to have gotten matched with Melissa. I've been with many other therapists in the past and I've never had one that makes me feel as understood as Melissa. Melissa is super understanding and nonjudgmental. She gives me things to work on and I feel like it really makes a difference!

Melissa has been super awesome! She has been beyond helpful & very understanding! I don't feel any judgement coming from her at all & that's what makes me like her even more!! Thank you Melissa for always being there for me!

Melissa is great!

Melissa is absolutely amazing, I would suggest her to anyone that needed a counselor!! I was going through a very rough time in my life and she really helped me through it, along with checked in on me multiple times to make sure I was doing okay.

I've only gotten to be with Melissa a short time so far, but she's well spoken, has plenty of ideas and insight, and really seems to understand what I need. She's always been attentive, even when I wasn't able to message because I had gotten busy- she checked in on me to make sure I was okay. To make sure my mental health hadn't dropped so low, that I was able to do what I needed to do for myself, and I really appreciated her taking the time during her workday to not only realize that I had not messaged in, but took the appropriate steps to ensure my safety. One of the very few counselors that I have ever had that was willing and actually did this for me. So, if you're looking for someone who isn't just going to do the super smiley, "how does that make you feel" cliche and actually gives half a crud, then check her out. Hopefully you two click and can work on therapy together.

Melissa is so wonderful to chat with. I'm so glad to have been paired with her. She's helped me, while I was at a crossroads, to keep in mind what is most important to me; Guiding me back to my own self.

She is a great counselor and in the short time that I have been doing therapy with her I feel myself getting better

I’ve been through a lot and it’s nice to connect with someone. I feel very comfortable with Melissa. Her feedback is exactly what I need to hear. Very positive, motivates, listens and then helps. It’s very helpful talking to someone that listens and understands where I’m coming from. She’s amazing. I’m Very grateful. I can’t wait to continue working with her. I feel change.

She respects my time and she asks good questions. I feel like she helps me to take accountability for my actions.

I am lucky to have been matched with Melissa and can’t say enough good things.

In a short time, Melissa has helped a lot.
