Melissa is very kind, caring, empathetic, and understanding. She knows how to balance validation and gentle challenging of thoughts/perceptions. I feel safe, heard, and understood in my sessions. I appreciate that she is working to integrate different styles of therapy to meet my needs. I am glad to have been paired with her.
I sought out this therapist because she has knowledge in treating AuDHD patients. She listens well, has a great memory, and is willing to adjust her approach and try new approaches. However, most therapy sessions felt like we were role-playing therapy and not building an actual therapeutic relationship. She reads as cold/detached and very clinical with little warmth or emotional attunement. Overall, I think she is a good therapist but not the right fit for me.
