These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Melissa Gonzales. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
She has been very understanding and a active listener in everything I've given to her.

She tailored a therapy just for me! She is working around my super busy schedule not against it. And she takes the time to make you think!
