Work with Melissa Benson - BetterHelp Online Therapist

I have only had one session with Melissa, and I am scheduled again for next week. So far, she is amazing… Even though we have only had one session, she keeps in touch through the app. I feel like she listens well and understands exactly what I’m going through and is supportive and offers valuable feedback. I look forward to continuing this journey with Melissa and her support.
