Melissa listens and puts the pieces together. I make the choices but she gives reality checks. She is easy to talk too. I am grateful for her.

Melissa has been the most wonderful therapist. She has helped me through my issues and given me the confidence to speak up about other past issues.
Melissa showed me different ways to see things and helped me realize my own value and importance in life. I would highly recommend her as her knowledge, kindness and understanding has been invaluable to me.
Thank you Melissa
