Melanie is absolutely wonderful. She helped me through my anxiety, depression, self-image issues and relationship struggles. She gave me tools to cope with my anxiety stressors and helped me set boundaries for a healthier, happier approach to my relationships. She always listened without judgement and with intent and was quick to respond in a logical, calm manner which helped me see my thought distortions around a situation. I am grateful for Melanie’s empathy and encouragement to find the peace I’ve been looking for.

Melanie is the best, I chose to do calls without video because talking to someone that you never met in person is the best. She’s patient, she lets me talk as much as I want, she read everything I send her and replies, her voice is calming. I seek to help with BetterHelp in the moment of my life that I needed someone to tell me that I was OK. Someone like Melanie that was a stranger at the time to me. Sometimes you can’t trust family or friends you never know what they’re saying behind your back or who they are sharing your personal life with. I just really didn’t want to talk to anyone I knew, about what was going on in my head. I got therapist at the age of 37 for the first time and I don’t regret it.

After being bounced around by Better Help's system trying to find a counselor that fit my issues, I was paired with Melanie.
She has done a great job listening and bringing various aspects of my life to my attention that I've ignored. I definitely recommend her. Very professional and very helpful.

Melanie is an amazing person and always makes me feel comfortable and safe, which is important for me since i have high anxiety. She is very understanding and down to earth. Melanie also sends me worksheets to help me improve and work on during the week. She's always available to chat and i really appreciate that she checks up on me :) 1000000000/10 looking forward to future sessions!

Melanie is a wonderful counselor and has a very lovely way of talking through challenges and helping you find workable solutions to get back on track. She is kind, personable and relatable making it easy to talk to her whether it be via video or messaging even though we are on opposite sides of the world. I also love how she calls me on my own behaviors in a nice way and challenging me, but also reminds me at the right times to go easy on myself. I highly recommend Melanie!

Melanie is able to easily balance being personal and professional and I've already started trying out the coping mechanisms she's suggested to me to help me deal with my mental health better. I was very nervous about starting therapy and she made it so easy to start and helpful for me to quickly get used to it. Thanks to her I'm glad I made the decision to seek help.

Melanie is great at prompting me to think about things in a way that I am not used to thinking about them! She gives me great feedback and empathizes with my concerns. Very responsive and this has been the best experience I’ve ever had with a counselor!
