“Melinda McCloud saw me after the death of a very close family member. She expertly guided me through the grief process and helped me to realize that while it never will be okay, I can at least come to terms with tragedy. She is kind, intelligent and empathetic. I highly recommend her as a therapist!”

I was very reluctant to seek help as I have been treated by multiple different social workers and counselors in the past, nothing seemed to help. Until I met Melinda McCloud. She has been absolutely life changing, I have suffered many years with anxiety and depression. She showed me there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I have a new lease on life & I thank Mrs. McCloud for her dedication in helping me come to terms with my trauma & grief. I look forward to each new day & have an overall better outlook on life. I would highly recommend Melinda to all my close family & friends.

I truly can’t recommend Melinda more. I was so nervous to start speaking to someone but I knew I needed too. I suffered a miscarriage and truly have not felt like myself since. It has been the darkest time in my life. Speaking to Melinda has given me pieces of my old self back! I have been able to start to move past my grief and that is all due to the way in which Melinda has allowed me to truly open up. She makes it so easy to talk and she provides true comfort. I’m writing this for anyone who like me knows they need help and is afraid to take that first step. Take that step with Melinda and she will work on those fears with you. She will help you to heal all of the broken pieces you thought you needed to live with all this time. I am so so thankful!

Melinda was incredibly helpful for my anxiety and panic attacks. She gave me helpful tips to deal with my panic attacks and used exposure therapy to help me be comfortable in public spaces again.
