"Melissa saved my life. I was deep in substance abuse and made many trips to rehab and every time she went above and beyond to make me feel that I was worth it! She made me see things that I couldn’t see myself and I wouldn’t be who I am today if I had never got the meaningful sessions with her I am truly grateful and sober today because of her amazing help!" - Jeremy

 

"My therapy with Melisa was the first positive and authentic experience with a therapist I’ve had. I think it was so powerful because we were able to build a trusting relationship first, I was able to tell her secrets I never wanted to say out loud before this helped me with shame and the image with myself. The tools she taught me were holistic and allowed me to eventually be okay with feeling my feelings and knowing what they are. The best thing that came out of our Therapy sessions were that she helped me sort out and identify different parts of myself and help me love myself. This led me to live a life that I love and not one revolving around fear and judgement." Isabel

"If you have decided its time to really make a change in your life, then you need to take that first step forward. Mine was through Melissa’s door. I’m a 59-year-old man that suffered sexual abuse as a child. My life was in turmoil, and I was unable to completely commit to anyone. I turned to alcohol and drugs to ease the pain, which only made it worst. After so many years of ups and downs I hit my bottom, and I made a decision to get help.  I can’t begin to express my gratitude for Melissa’s commitment to helping me get through the toughest thing in my life. Melissa doesn’t just listen; she is invested in your problem, and it shows in her dedication to helping you move forward in your life.  No matter what your needs are, Melissa is the person you want to invest in, it’s a WIN for everyone. Two years later I can share all my accomplishments with her and see the joy it gives her to see your success. I’ve had many therapists and Melissa was the most caring, attentive, honest person I have the pleasure of knowing. Every time I left her office, I was in a better place than when I got there. Melissa is a wonderful therapist and person. The world is a better place with her in it. "
