Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Melissa Contreras. 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.

Written on Aug 04, 2025 after therapy with Melissa for 5 months

Melissa has been such a help to our family. She's great at what she does and my teen is very comfortable with her. My teen has made good progress since they started seeing her. I would highly recommend her. She's easy to work with, knowledgeable, and understanding.
