These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Melissa Meengs. 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.
Melissa is very supportive and understanding. She helps me to realize my worth and to set my boundaries. Also she reminds me Im handling alot and I need to make time for myself. She has become my source of supportive, encouragement and very knowledgeable information and concern. It seems she can sense my feelings and supports me in that moment whatever it might be.

Melissa is by far one of the most attentive and caring therapists I have ever encountered and I think anyone would be lucky to have her as a therapist.
