Stephanie Melton is a fantastic therapist. She listens with great compassion and empathy and she meets you where you are. The truly best thing about her is her willingness and openness to learn and look into things that she may not be familiar with. No one has all the answers and finding someone who's willing to acknowledge that and keep learning is hard to find. She's good at what she does and is a genuinely good human. What a gem.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Very nice. Great advice. Likes to dig deep. Very knowledgeable.
I feel confident in having a therapist that resembles me and helps me understand my reasons for choosing to be in therapy and holding me accountable for the goals selected. Stephanie is very understanding of my traumas and findings ways to help me live the life I deserve and not allow my traumas to have a hold over me.
smart and she’s honest and she listens and gives great feedback.
I’ve recently started sessions with Stephanie and I always look forward to my next session with her. She has a warm and caring aura about her that I’ve never experienced with any other therapist. She provides honest feedback and an open space to express yourself.
