Written on Jun 04, 2018 after therapy with Melaney for 1 month on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, family, and self esteem

I enjoy working with Melaney and really trust her. She's very easy to schedule time with, is very responsive, and has great expertise with anxiety. She's given me a lot of new tools to help manage my condition.

Melaney helped me a lot when I needed it. I appreciate her insight & understanding. And when I needed to just vent & write down my thoughts, she always helped me see how my feelings were valid despite my own insecurities. And she'd frequently checked in on me to see how I was doing.I really recommend talking to Melaney. I was going through relationship problems, in addition to my depression & anxiety. It was a tough spot for me, and I was very lucky to have her assigned as my first therapist on BetterHelp.
