Beyond loving to help people become better individuals I enjoy exploring the world and learning new cultures, caring for animals and being outdoors. I have over 6 years of experience working in the mental health field. I earned a Master’s in Arts in Counseling Psychology from Anna Maria College and a Master’s in Science with a specialization in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Massachusetts Boston. I have experience working in different settings such as at home, mental health agencies, hospital and school settings.
I use a holistic approach in my treatment working with a diverse background with various mental health dispositions. Some of these areas I have experience in includes treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, cultural diversity, work stressors, life transitions and also help in redefining values and beliefs. Modalities I have implemented in my treatment approaches includes cognitive behavioral therapy, humanistic therapy, solution focused therapy, person centered therapy and expressive therapy. I also have pursued training in trauma focused therapy where I help individuals explore past traumatic events that shape them to who they are in the present moment and striving towards becoming better individuals in the present and future.
By creating an unconditional, supportive and trustworthy environment I am hopeful to helping individuals explore their full potentials by using their challenges and strengths to reach their goals and to pursue future endeavors. Looking forward to exploring this journey together.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Melissa is a very attentive therapist. She is always ready with good resources and how they can contribute to my therapy goals.
First time in therapy and I feel like I got the best. She has been so wonderful and helpful.
I have only worked with Melissa a short time so far, but she is very kind and friendly and has been helpful and willing to listen and offer solutions to the experiences I face. She makes me feel heard, safe and comfortable enough to share my thoughts and feelings. Id definitely recommend her to anyone looking to work with a therapist.
Melissa is kind and incredible. She feels like a friend and is always there to help you achieve your mental health goals.
I was apprehensive to start therapy again but melissa was instantly warm and melted all doubt. I look forward to our calls but leave feeling strong and stable enough to take on our goals for the week. She has diverse expertise and approaches and I love how open she is on her own life. Highly recommend!!
Melissa is as compassionate as she is talented. You will be in good hands with her.
She’s great! I also appreciate her checking in with me. I work a lot and it’s hard for me to make time for therapy, and I will especially if it’s Melissa :)
I’ve participated in therapy before but I’ve always found it difficult to ‘shop’ around for a therapist that I can click with and open up to. Melissa helped me feel so comfortable from the moment my first session began! She is just like talking to a friend! I would highly recommend her as a therapist.
Melissa is a great listener and extemely patient. I have really benefited from talking with her.
Melissa seems to understand the underlying issue related to the problem and is able to give coping mechanisms for each
Better help has helped me in so many ways and I haven’t even been a user of the app for along time! I would highly recommend this app to anyone who needs it.
I appreciate her insight, in the little amount of time we spent together.
Melissa is a type of person who excels at listening to and comprehending the client's issues. She has been very helpful in understanding what I'm going through and has given me insight into how to live my life more fruitfully. I really appreciate the helpful coping strategies she shared with me. I felt much more at ease after using the techniques, and I was able to easily connect with her. Keep up doing great work. Thank you very much, Melissa.
I would love to say, I really enjoyed to the fullest the therapy session with her. I was hesitant at first for choosing better help but after she was selected as my therapist I was getting to understand the problems I was having and was overcoming it gradually. We click instantly because she understood my cultural background and she really knows made me feel comfortable about sharing my personal information. She was also very educated on the field and gave me very important tips which helped me through out this course. Lastly, I would highly recommend her to anyone who is seeking counselling and therapy. Thanks to her I'm in a better place now. :)
Melissa was extremely kind and listened to me keenly during all our sessions so far. Although its been a short time she has helped me look into myself and identify what improvements i need to make that will greatly impact my life. She communicates very well and responds in a timely manner. Also, when i first joined betterhelp and was paired with my therapist, i desperately needed an immediate session and although her next available appointments were too far, she heard my cry for help and accommodated me immediately, for this I am truly grateful.
Always friendly and gives advise is actually reachable
Thank you for listening to me. You have really helped me and your advice to write my feelings have actually helped me cope with them. So thank you again!
Thank you for your warmth and your patience. I feel safe to share my problems and to work through them together
even though they were my first two therapy sessions and was nervous for the first one, i was excited on my second! i genuinely felt the difference and benifited from the simple tasks i was given in the end of my sessions. such laid back and chill therapist!
Great therapist, Melissa is very passionate about helping others. Melissa is a great listener and she definitely has provided me with great guidance to over come what I am currently going through.
Melissa is a fantastic counselor. I was hesitant coming in, as I had never done any form of therapy before, but she was welcoming, understanding, and easy to talk with. I'm in a much better place than when we first started, and I would recommend her to anybody.
Very responsive and understanding
So far my experience has been great and i really needed help when I reached out I’m glad I did.
She is very attentive and makes me feel like I am being listened to. She is extremely personable and does not make me feel like a bother or a burden. Overall she is a wonderful therapist.
Melissa has been doing great with letting me get all my feelings and emotions out while throwing in ideas and tips on how to help my problems. She always has helpful things to say and have been doing a lot better ever since she has been helping me
I am grateful to have been connected to Melissa. From the very first session, I felt so incredibly comfortable with her and that is rare for me. I was able to open up to her and that felt amazing for me. She is so compassionate and very attentive. Offers great adivce as well. I look forward to our future sessions.
Definitely someone who lends an ear to all problems and let’s you spill it all out and then help sort what to take care of first and gives so many tips and advices Thank you again!
Melissa was engaging from the first session. She listens and digests and really highlights themes or problem points in a way that is illuminating. I have found our sessions to be incredibly helpful. Thank you, Melissa!
Melissa has helped me out greatly! I'm new to the group and she's made it absolutely enjoyable, she listens to what I say and offers the best solutions that help tremendously. 10/10 recommend her!
