These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Melissa Johnson. 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.
Dr. Johnson has been hands down one of the best if not the best therapist I have ever had. She has a real genuine connection with her patients that is hard to replicate and make you know that she truly cares. Going though a hard time with grief and life stress was made so much easier talking with her. She has such a calm and knowledgeable personality that is perfect for helping you through whatever goals you have to achieve in your therapy journey. Beyond that, she is just an amazing person and I cannot say enough great things about her. I am very grateful for her and all she has done to help me. Would 10/10, hands-down recommend Dr Johnson. The best!!!!

Doctor Johnson is phenomenal. She has the perfect balance of compassion as well as solutions. She clearly uses the methods she teaches in her own life, and she wants to empower her patients to identify and understand their particular circumstances. It feels like I’m talking to an aunt or a cousin, a supportive person who wants the best for you. She is so easy to talk to, and I’m so grateful for her!
