I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in Alaska with over 7 years of experience working as a counselor and case manager. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including PTSD, MST, depression, anxiety, relationship issues and career challenges. I also helped many people with body image and self worth issues.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, creating a judgement free and safe space. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic and psychodynamic therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Mellisa Duffy. 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.
Mellisa is extremely easy to work with. From the beginning it has been straight to the point and we utilize our time well. She was my third match and I finally found someone who I work well with.
