I have had therapy in the past and I feel like Melanie is by far the best therapist out of the four I've seen previously. She is extremely kind and extremely compassionate and remembers in detail everything discussed in previous sessions. She also has a vast amount of expertise and knowledge. I'm very grateful to BetterHelp for bringing us together.

Melanie is always so supportive and makes me feel heard and understood. How she checks in in messages and in the live session few times gave me the key experience of really being deeply cared and seen. I'm so grateful that she is my therapist.
