Melanie is an excellent therapist. She helped me get thru my 2nd divorce, the sudden death of my 1st husband of 30 years and my traumatic childhood. So very grateful that Melanie was the one I chose to be my therapist. I highly recommend her.

I really appreciate her patience and convenience and understanding.
Seems to be very knowledgeable in where I’m at.
I like that she is available with texting and I don’t have to wait till I see her.
