I think it's taking me a bit of time to open up and talk about real issues. But what we talked about so far she has been very helpful.

I've had a great experience with my therapist. She is incredibly easy and fun to talk to, which makes opening up about difficult topics so much easier. She really listens to my concerns and always provides thoughtful, helpful advice. I always leave our sessions feeling heard and supported.

Melissa is very patient. She understands that some people need to talk. Also, there is no judgement as she allows you to speak your peace. She will be vulnerable and motivating at the same time. She will even admit to similar instances in the past. In other words, she shows that you are not alone and that she is working to persevere. She will present advice and concern in a caring manner.
She works greatly to help others. It is impressive that she counsels and sets time aside for others. She encourages the ability to see her on holidays and/or multiple times a week, and that is special. It may be difficult for people in crisis to process certain holidays or multiple times a week. She is a wonderful asset. Thanks for having her on your team at growtherapy!
