Reviews
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.
I cannot recommend Dr K. enough! She helped me navigate through a challenging period of anxiety and depression with good care and expertise. From the very first session, she made me feel completely heard and understood. Her approach is warm, non-judgmental, and genuinely compassionate, which immediately put me at ease.
She provided practical tools and strategies that I could apply in my daily life, while also creating a safe space to explore my thoughts and emotions. She truly listened and tailored her approach to what I needed, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.
Thank you for everything!
I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Kalodner, and I can confidently say that she is an exceptional therapist.

Dr. Kalodner's expertise and insight have been invaluable in helping me navigate life's challenges.
Her ability to actively listen, offer thoughtful guidance, and provide personalized support has made a significant positive impact on my mental health and well-being. I highly recommend Dr. Kalodner to anyone seeking a compassionate, skilled, and dedicated therapist.

Dr. Kalodner is very patient and kind. She’s a great asset for my healing. Highly recommend!
Amazing therapist who has helped so much with our family
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!
She’s really helping me!
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!
Dr. Kalodner is amazing. She is compassionate and understanding. Her knowledge and expertise gives me confidence. I am so fortunate to be able to work with Dr. Kalodner.
Dr. Kalodner is an exceptional therapist, combining professionalism with a deeply empathetic approach. Her ability to listen attentively allows her to understand the nuances of one's experiences, making each session feel uniquely tailored. Her prompt responses ensure that you feel supported and valued at all times, while her creativity in approach brings fresh perspectives to challenging issues. Dr. Kalodner not only helps in navigating complex emotions but also empowers with innovative strategies for personal growth. Highly recommended for anyone seeking compassionate and insightful guidance.
Dr.K has been my biggest supporter throughout my journey. She’s truly an angel that has compassion for others. Her heart is full of love and kindness.
She is easy to talk to. I feel like she was able to understand me and help me get through a difficult time.
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.
I’ve only met with Melissa 3 times, but so far I’d say she’s great!
Dr Kalodner was a great fit a single dad navigating a relationship. Good feedback, guidance and validation. Great experience so far.
This is my 2nd session with Dr Kalodner, she is professional and very understanding to your needs. She listens and provides feedback and responds to emails promptly.
