These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Melissa Kalodner. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.

This is the most comfortable I’ve been with a therapist before . I am so happy I was matched with Dr.K I couldn’t ask for anyone better who actually listens, pays attention to detail, makes me feel like I matter to her through her actions. I would recommend her over and over again to anyone seeking guidance or hesitant on starting therapy!

Dr k makes me feel important and valued whenever I tell her about something that is going on in my life or in my past. She lists examples from her past to help me understand what is going on with me. She tries her very best to completely understand of what I'm going through and helps me find ways to cope with it. I strongly suggest Dr k is a therapist!

I have had difficulty in the past connecting with a therapist as most in the military world aren’t aware or prepared for many instances or concerns…especially pertaining to women. Dr. Kalodner has made me feel welcome to open up and I hope we continue.
