This is a very quick review but Melissa is very good and is incredibly insightful. She asks me questions that really get me thinking and encourages me to be honest with myself and her. Finding time to talk is hard though and I have trouble with the inconsistency but I appreciate my time with her very much.

More about Melissa

- LCSW
Finding a therapist who is a good fit is not easy. For many people, I’m that “good fit.” This is because over all else, I value a nonjudgmental, client-centered approach, and I will offer you unconditional positive regard. We are all entitled to this.
I believe in a Motivational Interviewing approach to accompany the unconditional positive regard I can offer you. It’s my job as your therapist to help you guide yourself to the place that’s right for you, because YOU are the expert in YOU. I can offer advice on coping strategies, mindfulness, and guide you through cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques. I'm happy to be a sounding board when you seek guidance as well, and serve as a support person when you just need to vent.
Know that no matter what you have experienced, survived, what you have done, you are worthy, valuable, and important. I’m passionate about encouraging clients to discuss, and therefore neutralize, feelings of shame that can be pervasive and have a truly devastating impact on one’s life. You deserve it.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Awesome therapist!!!!
Melissa is a very encouraging and respectful therapist. The approach she takes when we talk allows me the opportunity to relax and open up very easily. She truly is the unbiased person I needed to help me through my journey. 10/10 for her help.
She’s the best therapist I’ve ever had
I can’t say enough good things about Melissa! I feel like I finally found someone I connect with and I really enjoy her therapy style. She asks thought provoking questions and validates how I am feeling. I look forward to our therapy sessions weekly!
Muldoon is amazing at what she does. She never invalidates my feelings and truly tries to understand my point of view. She makes me feel comfortable and safe to talk about things I have never said outloud without feeling misunderstood.
