These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Melissa Reighn. 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 kind, thoughtful and engaging, all while talking me through things have been bothering me or have been on my mind. I would highly recommend Melissa, as I walk away from our sessions more confident in myself and how to process feelings and thoughts that I have constantly battling in my head.
