Reviews

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

Melody is extremely warm and thoughtful. She’s very easy to talk to and perceptive about her clients and how they’re feeling without being intrusive or judgmental. I don’t have a great track record with mental health professionals, but she’s showing me that therapy can be comfortable too!

She is a very understand woman. Feel very comfortable with sharing my feelings. Always feel heard.
