“First time talking to someone that cared to listen.. to all of it. I felt more comfortable talking about my problems within the first appointment with her compared to two prior years of treatment around the state. At the end I was provided medication that we discussed and wasn’t forced on me. Would recommend for anyone struggling.”

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $180 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $150-180 for 30 minutes
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
- Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
More information on payments and coverage
Co-pays, deductibles, and any out-of-pocket costs are due at the time of service and must be paid to proceed with your appointment. To secure your booking, a valid payment method is required, especially if you are scheduling an out-of-network visit, as this ensures coverage for any applicable fees. If your insurance information or payment details are not provided at least 24 hours before your appointment, your session will be canceled. This policy helps us maintain an efficient scheduling process and ensures that appointments remain available for those who need them.

Melanie always makes me feel comfortable and truly listens to what I say. She made me feel heard during the process of getting on the correct medication and doses for me. She remembers details about her patients and truly cares. Highly recommend her!

Melanie is THAT provider. For real, I’ve never felt so genuinely heard in a medical setting before. She didn’t just rush through my appointment — she actually took her time, listened to everything I had to say, and made me feel like my voice mattered.
You can tell she’s passionate about what she does — it shows in the way she cares, explains things, and makes sure you leave feeling supported and understood. Honestly, it felt less like a “doctor’s visit” and more like talking to someone who truly has your back.
If you’re looking for a provider who gets it, listens without judgment, and makes you feel seen… Melanie is the one. ????

I cannot say enough good things about Ms. Melanie . She is incredibly sweet, kind, and patient. From the very first session, she made me feel heard and understood. She truly listens to everything I share without judgment and offers thoughtful, compassionate guidance every time. Her support has been invaluable, and I always leave our sessions feeling lighter and more hopeful. I honestly couldn’t ask for a better psychiatrist — she has made such a positive difference in my life.

I just had my second appointment with Dr. Melanie, and I couldn’t be more grateful. She’s incredibly kind, sweet, and truly listens with care and attention. I felt fully heard and supported. She’s also very knowledgeable and prescribed me exactly what I needed. I’m thankful to have found her and already look forward to our next session.

The process from registration to prescription was very straightforward.
Overall, I'd highly recommend Ms. Osefo.

This provider never reached out to let me know if she was available or unavailable. I called the number provided multiple times to no avail. Very disappointing and frustrating. 0/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND

Melanie confirmed my appointment and I filled out all the necessary paperwork, but she did not show up and has not followed up to explain or apologize. She also did not respond to my messages through her online portal. Very strange and obviously unprofessional.

Had a great appointment with this PCP. Listened to my concerns, explained what the journey to wellness ahead looks like, and left me with tangible tools toward my wellness goals. Highly recommended. Read through my intake forms, and spent time to understand my concerns. Very professional.

Melanie was super personable and was so easy to talk to! I was a bit nervous about the appointment and embarking on the journey of figuring out what’s going on and she eased all of that nervousness. I would highly recommend and look forward to our next appointment.

Had an appointment that was canceled last Thursday and rescheduled for today at 12pm and no one ever showed up. I called and no one answered. Very disappointed and very unprofessional.

Fantastic, gave multiple different tests to determine genetic impact on medications and specific areas of concern. A big patient rights advocate and active listener!

She was very thorough and had many questions. She gathered a lot of information but made me feel like I was responsible for making the decisions of my care.
