By far the best and most helpful therapist I have seen in 12 years. I’ve never progressed this fast and steadily with any other therapists

I have only had a few session with Melanie but in those sessions she has shown me the kind of therapist she is. She is kind and warm, she listens well and helps keep me focused during the session.
I feel heard, I feel seen, I feel supported.
Would definitely recommend Melanie, and Better help to friends.
