Melissa is top notch. She hears my concerns and tailors each session around what I need most. She is patient and kind. I know she is on my side.

Melissa has made me feel unquestionably and incomparably safe from the first conversation we had. And that was over text because of my error! She consistently helps me address both internal and external issues as they arise. She gives me confidence in myself. She gives me actual directives only when and if She needs to. It is crystal clear, every time we speak, that Melissa both listens and here’s all of what I have to say and all of my concerns or progresses or championships. What I love the most is that she doesn’t make me feel reliant on her. However, I choose to resource her, and to continue to resource her. But, it’s always my choice. And I’m rewarded for that choice every week. I’ve had my sheriff therapist, some great some mediocre some atrocious. Melissa is the most perfect therapist for me at this stage of my life, and I love our connection. I Love That she trust me as much as I trust her.

Melissa is probably the best therapist I have ever had. I have always struggled connecting with someone, but Melissa is super supportive and a great listener. I find that she does a great job of suggesting coping strategies. Thank you Melissa!
