About me

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor who uses several therapeutic styles including cognitive/behavioral and reality therapies. My strengths include empathy, compassion, humor, and sensitivity to any issue that is brought to the "couch." My job is to help you help you and in doing so I am along for the ride and journey of self-discovery, healing, and growth.

I work with a varied clientele covering many different issues and feel that my approach is both inviting and invigorating in terms of allowing clients the opportunity to find a healthy path that was designed especially by them for them. I have experience with many different clientele and therapeutic settings including private practice, community agency, legal system, and college counseling center.

I have worked in the prison/court systems, private practice, and college counseling center, and feel that I have the perspective that is necessary and desired for a successful therapeutic relationship. I am involved in the Veterinary Community of Central Florida as a consultant, therapist, and wife of a local veterinarian.

I have a Bachelor of Science majoring in psychology. I also have both a Masters and Specialist Degree in Education with a focus in Mental Health Counseling. All three of these degrees are from the University of Florida. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida and New Jersey.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Melissa Nadler. 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.

Working with Melissa over the past few weeks and months has been transformative. She has helped me gain deeper self-awareness and the confidence to set clear, healthy boundaries, even with my family. I now better understand the motivations behind my actions and have been able to set a new precedent for how I prioritize my well-being. I’m incredibly grateful for Melissa’s guidance! Highly recommend!

Melissa has been my therapist for quite a while. I value her opinions and she always is there for me.

I've only been with Melissa a few weeks but I can say that her skillset and expertise have been enlightening. She listens with a kind heart, probes with questions that allow for introspection and reflection, and allows you to speak without interruption, feeling rushed, or judged.

I've grown as a human in the short time I've received her input in my life, and I recommend her as a therapist. We need more like her!

Melissa is great and she cares about how you feel and wants to help you do better in your life. She works with my awkward schedule to make sure I am able to speak to her each week, even if it is on her off days. She is a great therapist to have.

She has helped me so much over the past year/ 2 years. I am disappointed that I have to switch therapists because I am moving, but I do understand the rules.
