Melinda is a very kind hearted and understanding person. She helped me understand the trauma I had experienced was real. It answered so many questions for me. She believed in everything I said, and never made me feel small or unimportant. I truly appreciate the support that she has given me.

I really enjoy meeting with Melinda, she is of Christian faith as am I and I enjoy incorporating the Bible/ The word in with my therapy. I also like the fact that she checks in with me weekly to see how I am doing. She is invested in her patients and their growth.

Melinda is very responsive, very caring and not afraid to confront you on things she feels like you are avoiding. She challenges you to tackle your problems and gives you so many tools as well as worksheets to help track/ manage whatever you need help with the most. She is so kind and caring I truly look forward to every session. She has made seeking therapy not such a scary word or thing to do.
