I’ve had one appointment with Melisa so far, but plan to continue seeing her. She clearly outlined expectations and asked me questions to get to know me. She was really easy to talk to and I’m looking forward to continue working with her.

The provider is very intuitive and insightful. I think one of the biggest take aways with our sessions is her ability explain what am experiencing with clinical context.
