Melissa is a phenomenal therapist. She listens, but she doesn’t let it be all about you. Therapy with her is something I look forward to because rather than just trauma dumping, we have constructive conversations and I always come out feeling better than I did before our sessions. I would 100% recommend her!

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.

So far Melissa has been wonderful
Melissa has helped me to understand myself so much better in the couple months I’ve been talking to her. She explains things so well and I feel safe saying things to her I’ve never said aloud.
She was very helpful and listened. Offered constructive advice and gave me a way to look forward.
She is a life changer and saver. She listens, cares and fully invest in and with her clients. She's light hearted and funny
She is fantastic at helping understand my emotions better
She is so easy to work with. With my unorthodox work schedule she make it easy for me to schedule our sessions.
Melissa is truly a visionary in the field of therapy. I have never been challenged in my thinking the way that I have in her sessions. I strongly recommend her for your therapeutic needs, especially if you are exhausted of trying the same old methods that just do not seem to work for you. She actively listens, provides exceptional feedback, and gives “homework” outside of sessions if you so choose to really help drive the content of what you learn in therapy to apply within your day-to-day. Could not recommend her enough!
Melissa is wonderful! She is open and never judgmental. She challenges me in areas that I need it, and is great at checking in to make sure we are on the same page. She is very responsive to feedback and adjusts her approach based on it. Definitely would recommend her!
If you want your cliches around the therapeutic process blown away and re imagined sign up for some sessions with Melissa you will not be disappointed.
Melissa is the perfect example of what I look for in a therapist. She listens intently, follows even my most scrambled thoughts, is very real and down to earth, and provides a safe and supportive space that is incredibly needed. I feel extremely comfortable and enjoy each session and feel much better afterwards no matter what headspace I start with
Absolutely, 100%, the best therapist I've ever had. Melissa provides more than just talk therapy. She provides homework, coping mechanisms, and a new perspective while being both honest and validating. Melissa practices active listening and empathy will not letting me get lost in my spirals and thoughts and offers compassion while providing discipline and helps me recognize the thing I AM doing. She is responsive and genuinely cares about her patients... Going as far as finding resources for the individual in the form of links, videos, or local events of interest. I cannot recommend Melissa enough.
She is open-minded and does not pass judgement or put her own bias during therapy sessions. This is extremely important for a person like me. One of my triggers is someone putting a personal bias on something so it is hard for me to find someone who is able to understand this. She has been a great person for me to talk to and plan how to overcome my stressors and manage them healthfully.
Melissa is absolutely fantastic. It is my first time in therapy and she is helping me work on things that are important to me and helps me recognize things I need to work on. She is kind, funny and extremely good at her job. Each session feels like exactly what I needed at that moment and chats in between sessions help connect the dots.
Melissa is a amazing person she’s helped me with my issues and better understand what I need to do. And what to help me
She has really helped ina short period of time
So far, although it’s only been two sessions, I’m really pleased with Melissa’s straightforward approach and ability to pinpoint key things in the moment so that I leave the session with tangible, useable tools for feeling better day to day! Finding the right vibe with a therapist can be really tough and this has been an excellent experience overall.
So far I have been very happy and been getting fast results. Melissa is very flexible in her practice and concentrate her efforts on making the client get the help where they feel they need it most. I feel very comfortable to be very open, hones and be true self with Melissa which will help me progress faster.
Melissa is great. She understands exactly what you need from her and constantly approaches situations in the way you need. She is involved and will be there for you when you need her.
Melissa is an incredible therapist. She is very supportive and always brings fascinating insights that lead to profound breakthroughs. She is fantastic at reframing experiences and bringing a new perspective to your thoughts, feelings and experiences. She brings many different modalities, philosophies, practical tools and insights into therapy that have really helped me in my life, work and relationships. She sets homework and is very timely and available. While she is very caring, she is also able to call you out on your nonsense. My life has completely changed for the better since working with Melissa. In fact, overall, I'm happier than I have ever been. I feel like I got super lucky with her! I highly recommend working with Melissa: 10/10.
Melissa is positive, professional and patient. She offers a variety of options to address immediate and long-term concerns.
My therapist really knows her stuff. She is so professional, easy to talk too and really has helped me to achieve what I asked help with. Working through some of my negative thought pattern and deal with my emotions in a healthy way. Sometime I feel like she has a mirror to my brain. Truly glad we were matched.
Melissa is an excellent therapist ! I love how she incorporates different models of therapy and she bases her beliefs in spirituality. I feel so good about our connection and she has helped me tremendously in a short amount of time. Melissa listens , is non judgmental, and offers such positive feedback. She sends clients session feedback and wants honest evaluations, good and bad. Honestly, I can’t think of one single thing that is bad ! She is amazing !!
I’ve only had 2 sessions with Melissa so far. Both have already really helped me out! I’m looking forward to working more along side her
Melissa is fantastic, kind and picks you up where you are on your journey through self-improvement.
I love having Melissa as my therapist because she is so responsive and checks up on me regularly. She gives me homework which helps me understand my own issues a bit better and really makes me think.
