Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Melissa Phillips. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

After many years of wanting to goto therapy, I am thankful I was paired with Melissa. She is wonderful in offering me different ways to meet with her virtually. Melissa also has helped me talk through some of my most difficult challenges, and consistently shows that our discussions are a safe place to be vulnerable. She listens carefully and is able to challenge me in healthy ways. I appreciate all the work Melissa does and her ability to help me transform myself into someone I am proud to be.

Melissa has made my therapy experience so amazing, she truly gets me and always checks in! She understands my intense trauma and abuse background and takes the time to fully take in where I come from and what will help me move forward.
