About me

My diverse education and training in Mental Health Counseling & Marriage and Family Therapy permits me to be proficient in treating a wide variety of issues. Clients come to see me for a number of difficulties, including life transitions, staying connected, creating new relationships, stress and anxiety, maintaining emotional health, family conflict, relationship problems, break-ups, low confidence and/or self-esteem, professional unhappiness and challenges related to everyday life.

Clients describe my style as warm and interactive. I work with individuals who are seeking change in their lives or within their significant relationships. I use evidence-based approaches and prefer that my experiences with clients be empowering, positive, goal- oriented and most importantly useful. If you are ready for change, I would be happy to help support and empower you on this journey.

Reviews

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

So far Dr. Schacter has been a really great listener. We are till covering some background and historical ground that contribute to the main things I would like to work on. She takes time to read my journals and she's always prepared for our conservations. This helps me more supportive and confident on being open on what we talk about. She also asks simple but very specific questions that move the conservation forward and feel effective to open up on the targeted issues. Overall, her general warmth, support, and attentiveness have made my first therapy experience much very pleasant. Thank you!
