“I’ve already recommended Melinda to several people!”

“I recommend my therapist and Relationship Resolutions to everyone who shows interest in counseling needs. I am extremely happy with Melinda and her ability and willingness to help me.”

“For one on one therapy, which I historically do not like, I did actually like my sessions with Melinda. For an individual therapy session, I thought it was really good and helpful (I have seen others in the past and disliked all of them)...for one on one therapy, Melinda was great-personable, intelligent, easy to relate to, comfortable to be around, listened openly, always offered practical advice and knowledge. Individual therapy is just not my preferred method but it was helpful for sure during a very rough time for me. I would go back again if I felt I really needed to.”
