I can’t say enough how much I appreciate my therapist! I never thought I would have been able to meet my therapist and immediately felt that as if she’s someone I’ve known and most importantly someone who is genuine and cares enough to actually listen and then to explain things to me in ways I understand and to help me feel better about myself. I have never been so down and stuck in this dark place before and was desperate to try to get help and I am so happy I found help here . From the first contact and every interaction from the intake to even the insurance process I have been treated with such kind and helpful people who really help! I’m looking forward to the healing journey and the learning process . I want to take my life back and I feel like that’s finally possible and I truly feel like Melissa is just as eager to help me as I am to learn and grow from her and this program .

I don’t even know where to start when it comes to complimenting my sessions with Melissa. She always makes me feel very heard and understood and is always offering me helpful perspective shifts. I’m always nervous just before therapy and find that I’m feeling so much more at peace after my sessions and discussions with her. She does so well navigating my hectic way of explaining my emotions / experiences.

Melissa Arena is the perfect match for me and my anxiety level has gone down immensely. My mind is quieter than it’s ever been and I’m almost 60. It’s quite amazing what a good therapist can do.

I started therapy about 2 months ago and my therapist is amazing. We create realistic goals together and has given me some excellent advice. The cost is great too since it is covered by insurance.

Mellissa is great. I really enjoyed talking to her. She was very knowledgeable and seems to be a great support. I'd give her 5 stars but we only met once but I'm sure she is very good at what she does! Looking forward to working with her. Laura
