Testimonials

“I came to Melanie for help with a strained relationship with my parents. I had a couple of therapists before Melanie, none of which had the same level of warmth and honesty. She genuinely cares about my issues and her room always feels like a safe space.”
Client S

“As a parent, you feel she really listens and wants to help with any issues you may be having a difficult time dealing with. We always feel better after sessions with her and we feel she has enabled us to be better parents for a child with anxiety. ”
