Easy to talk too, responsive via the app as well. More conversation than anything which I like, had a therapist before where it was just me talking and didn’t like that.

Melissa has helped me so much over the past two months. She is understanding, kind, a wonderful listener and professional. She really cares about you and your situation and it shows. She gave me the corrective thinking, tough love and guidance I really needed. She has helped me so much and I can’t thank her enough for it.

She’s the most amazing therapist I’ve had. She’s like a friend to talk to who seems to know what to exactly say. I highly recommend.
