I have seen a number of councilors and therapist over the years, with varying results. Melanie has ben the first therapist to help me really work on my issues, and she has helped me make great strides with my mental health. She was also the first therapist that let me feel heard, and helped me to face trauma in a way that I can face things again. I am very thankful for her and the staffs effort and work to help me. I struggle with more serious issues, but now I have tools that she taught me to help me cope and work through things. Melanie has helped me with my issues that come from being on spectrum, and has helped me greatly with my CPTSD.
