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.

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!

Reviewed November 2023

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!

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.

Reviewed August 2023

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.

Reviewed June 2023

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.
