Rate Melissa Pesce

Melissa has been such an amazing therapist and support since I began seeing her in the fall of 2023. She has provided such a safe, warm, and engaging space to be able to be vulnerable and work on myself.

Melissa Pesce has honestly been a balm in my life. I truly was lost, scared, and confused in general about life. I had a horrible experience with a previous therapist (not from BetterHelp) and honestly it truly scarred me from trusting any other therapists... or get any help for that matter. Melissa is patient, kind, funny, and lets you know what's up when needed. To be honest, I can't view how my life would be right now without wanting and getting the help I needed...and Melissa was truly the person who gave me the comfort of knowing everything will and is going to be okay.

I am able to talk with Melissa about anything. From polyamory to kink and childhood trauma to current patterns. I appreciate the space she holds and the healthy pushing outside my comfort zone!

I’m incredibly grateful to have found Melissa through Pride Counseling, she’s helped me so much.

Melissa is so good at making me feel heard and seen! She really pays attention and "gets it". She also has an awesome way of giving me the gentle "push" that I sometimes need. I give her my highest recommendation!

Melissa has been a gentle and insightful counselor since day one. I’ve come a long way toward reaching my goals with her support and guidance.

Melissa is great. She's gentle, and very respectful. I feel extremely comfortable speaking with her. I have great confidence in her advise, and I greatly value her input.

Melissa is always responsive, caring and reaches out if she has not heard from me.

Melissa is a kind soul and very thoughtful. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for guidance

Melissa is the absolute best when it comes to supporting me and helping me get through life. She has been my therapist for about 2 years and I appreciate everything she has done while I am on my journey of growth and healing.

Melissa is an excellent therapist that listens really well and provides helpful feedback and techniques. She’s responsive and professional and made me feel very comfortable opening up and looking at myself. I feel I am more equipped in my personal life and a better communicator. Thank you so much!

I have been in and out of therapy for many years. Melissa is the only therapist that I have come back to. She is always extremely flexible with scheduling and really focuses on changing the perspective rather than allowing me to complain about everything. Definitely recommend if you’re ready to stop loathing and start changing

Always friendly, helpful and flexible. She gives me the right tools to get through my anxiety

Love Melissa. She's real and down to earth and I much appreciate that. She listens and provides real world feedback/advice.

Melissa is a talented therapist who has helped me to manage issues around sex and intimacy as I age. Her talent combined with the easy to use betterhelp system is a powerful combination.

Melissa got me through some difficult times. She also had opened me to slow down my thoughts before I speak. I will forever be indebted to her.

Melissa has been like a breath of fresh air. She’s like a girl friend you like talking with. I look forward to her calls. She shows me there are other ways I can look at things, that better my thoughts.

She makes it easy to talk to and open up about the things that are bugging me and dig deeper for something I didn’t know was there. Great tactics to get my head space right and bring my focus back.

This was my first experience with solo therapy and I am extremely grateful having Melissa as my therapist. She is giving me the tools to reach my personal goals and empowering me thru each session. Thank you Melissa

Melissa is the best. She has helped me tremendously and I appreciate how serious she takes her work.

She is always responsive, and gives me ways to refocus my thoughts

Melissa helped me find myself. She helped me find the person I need to be rather than a person I thought I should be. I am very grateful for her!

I came into therapy because someone wanted me to, I didn’t think it was going to work. Melissa was fantastic, she’s not afraid to call out your bullshit and empower you from the call out. If you’re NOT wanting someone who just sits there listening, come to Melissa, she’s awesome.

Melissa is such a comforting person that is able to help you feel heard and find your voice.

She is amazing!

Melissa was my counselor with Regain and I kept her for individual therapy through BetterHelp because she is phenomenal. She really listens and engaged with me and is always giving me useful tools to assist me through my anxiety and other situations. Thanks, Melissa!

Melissa has been for me every step of the way for what it coming close to a year now. I can't thank them enough for how accommodating they have been for me and how much they understand my condition! I never feel pressured to do anything that would make me uncomfortable and she never hassles me about forgetting things. I feel Melissa genuinely loves their job and cares for the people they work with. I am still working on finding ways to tackle my deep rooted issues, but even just working with surface level stuff has made me a better me. Thank you!

I’ve had Melissa as long as I’ve been using BetterHelp. She’s great! Real easy to talk to.

Working with Melissa, has been an eye opener of my personality. I am enjoying every session we have, I have learned a lot . Thank you Melissa

One of the most compassionate therapists I’ve had the pleasure of working with

She is kind and honest about changes for my mental health and I know that’s her primary concern. She makes me feel comfortable to be open and honest and she is always neutral.

My sessions with Melissa have been amazing. I don't know how I could have gotten through 2020 without her help.

Melissa has been an amazing support to me. She is a wonderful listener and she also asks great questions that really get me thinking. She has helped me to basically redirect my life so that I am on a more positive path. I am very grateful for her services!

She listens well and has great ideas to help move forward

I’ve only been messaging with Melissa for a short while, but I can already feel the difference of having her. It feels like I have someone I can open up to at anytime, on my fingertips. It helps keep my anxiety in control, knowing that whatever the day brings, I can message Melissa.

I really appreciate Melissa giving me insight and the confidence I needed to have to deal with my life

Melissa has been an absolute amazing counselor to me. I went through a very difficult breakup 2 months ago (During this current Pandemic) and she really helped me find inner strength and peace. She challenged me to find what it is that I am looking for, and to always be kind to myself. I highly recommend Melissa if you are going through a very difficult breakup.

I've made considerable progress in life thanks to Melissa's knowledge and expertise. I look and back on life before working with her and it's hard to imagine I could have kept going that way. She is an attentive, intuitive, well educated, and skilled counselor. She has been life changing.

She is extremely understanding and supportive!

Melissa is amazing! She really makes me feel heard. She can get to the heart of the matter very quickly and asks thought-provoking questions that make me consider things that I hadn't even thought of. Her profile really stood out to me when I was looking for a counselor and I'm SO glad I found her.

Melissa is AMAZING! She has helped me process so much in such a short amount of time. And during these unprecedented times, I have found email to be the best way to communicate, and she replies quickly and with great insight! I am very grateful to have found her, and Betterhelp.

Melissa is a knowledgeable and caring therapist that has given me guidance to become a better person. Therapy with her has been a great and healing experience since day one. I can't imagine seeing another therapist because therapy has been so effective. I am truly grateful for her knowledge and expertise.

I love Melissa. She understands me and is supporting me through this hard time.

Melissa is great and I highly recommend her.

My first session with Melissa was incredibly helpful to me. I am already learning quite a bit and I feel more self aware. Melissa is a very good listener...and I am a wordy person so I’m grateful for her. She has been a clear communicator and has offered flexibility with scheduling. I would recommend Melissa to anyone searching for a great counselor! I have messaged her quite a bit and have had only my first phone session, but I am absolutely looking forward to continuing with her.

Melissa has reminded of the importance of being gentle with myself. She is also great about letting me be myself and helping me to have room to grow instead of trying to make me conform to her moral agenda.

Melissa is the person I have been searching for all these years. I've gone through SO many trauma groups, doctors, therapists, social workers, volunteer support counselors and she is just the perfect fit. Melissa listens, she understands and validates my feelings. When I need her, she's there and genuinely cares. We need more people like her to fix the mental health system. Life saving. Truly.

Melissa is great. She gives great advice and listens.

Melissa and I have connected very well and she goes above and beyond to assure that my concerns addressed.

Melissa has been awesome! Going through the loss of my spouse to just being sad he’s not here to share in joyful things happening.

Love Melissa.I miss her on weeks we don't talk. She's just wonderful and has helped me tremendously.

She is very helpful and immediately picked up the style of therapy that worked for me. I never feel like I have to sugarcoat my feelings or feel like I have no one to speak to when I am down.

Melissa has honestly been helping me realize a lot of things and has helped me feel comfortable. She knows how to listen yet talk to me and help me.

Melissa is a wonderful caring counselor who helps in several different ways and will work with you so that you are able to speak to her or video with her whichever method you prefer.
