“Working with Melissa has truly changed my life! I am a huge proponent of therapists and counselors and have been in therapy since I was 5 years old. A dear friend of mine recommended Melissa to me when I shared with her the circumstantial catastrophes of my life. Melissa provides practical advice and real life strategies. She is compassionate, empathetic and truly cares about my emotional well being. Over the last 7 months I have learned more about myself and grown more as a person than I have ever in my life….and that is a direct result of Melissa’s coaching, guidance and therapy. From the very first conversation that I had with Melissa I knew that she was going to be the perfect fit for me. She is authentic and genuine, truthful and kind. She has provided me with the specific tools that I need to create healthy boundaries for myself, has encouraged me to step out in courage and dismiss the feelings of fear and shame that were holding me back and holding me down. Melissa is not only a voice of reason, but an advocate for the healthy, non codependent person that I truly am."

"I have had the pleasure of working with Melissa Marciano for more than 4 years now, but this is my first time having to do therapy virtually. Honestly, it is not remotely the same or as personal as therapy in-person is, but it is much better than not having any support or resources. Melissa does a great job at providing the best care she can and that there is despite the current circumstances. For those who are debating whether or not to invest in virtual therapy with Melissa, I would highly recommend it to anyone, because she provides surpassing service and tailors her therapy approach to individual's needs whether that be in-person or via virtually."

"It has been such a pleasure and gift to have Melissa Marciano as my therapist for the past four years now. She has changed my life in numerous, positive ways and has helped me get to where I am today. I met her under unfortunate circumstances, but I am forever grateful that our paths crossed, because as someone who has been in therapy since 11 years of age, I can honestly say Melissa is the most sincere, honest, and compassionate therapists I have ever worked with. She provides therapy that is specific and individually tailored to the needs of her clients and provides very useful tools that can be utilized throughout the rest of the lives she encounters and positively impacts."

"Since starting counseling and EMDR with Melissa I have been able to overcome many of my triggers associated with my PTSD and the trauma that happened to me. Her caring and kindness made it easy for me to open up to her, which is something that is hard for me to do. I know I still have work to do, but I believe with Melissa's help I will be able to get to a point where I am not affected by my triggers anymore."

"Melissa has been a safe and supportive refuge for me over the past couple of months. I felt comfortable and cared for from our very first session. Her knowledge of 12 step programs, willingness to share personal experience, and person-centered approach to therapy have allowed me to be open and honest without fear of judgement. Melissa truly exudes passion for helping others heal and I am so grateful to have found her! She also has a v cute dog named Schooner who welcomed me on my first visit; I'm pretty sure she has healing energy as well. "

"Melissa is truly one of my favorite people to work with. She is incredibly skilled and well-knowledged, ready to help you dig out the roots of your problems no matter how deep they go. She says the truth as it is while still full of care, and that's the best type of therapist to work with. She helped revealed parts of me that I wasn't aware of before and helped me set foot into the greatest recovery journey. Also, she has jokes so that's a plus. I feel really glad and appreciative to be able to say that she has helped me so, incredibly much. I promise she can do the same for you."

"We have been meeting together with Ms. Marciano for over two years.  During this time, she has been an invaluable resource for both of us.  She has been dependable, professional, and very insightful.  She has helped us set realistic goals and encouraged us while we worked to meet our goals and then to set new goals.  We are very grateful for her expertise that she has unselfishly shared with us.  We enthusiastically recommend her without reservation."
