I went with my daughter who was very specific about what she wanted and she loved Melissa but Melissa never followed up with videos she was going to send us and then didn’t answer a single phone call. Completely ghosted us. I wouldn’t recommend a counselor who can’t communicate anything either way and wasn’t mature enough to respond to voicemail trying to just set up an appointment. If she didn’t want to work with my daughter she simply could have just said so.
