Why our members love working with Melanie
J.F.
I came into session feeling really blue bc I also suffer with bipolar. Melanie understood and helped me figure out some tools to help me learn to love myself. I feel like a failure a lot bc of my mental health. She helped me take a little power back. Looking forward to my homework and listing things I’m grateful for daily. I came out feeling hopeful which I haven’t felt in a few days.
J.F.
Had a great session with Melanie. I am working on exposures. Today I was so worried about my husband. My biggest fear is him dying in a car accident. I was worried but I said my RPM and went about my business and sure enough it was 30 mins before I even called to check and before I did my anxiety had gone down to a 2 out of 10. Crazy how this works but it does.
A.H.
Over the past year Melanie has given me tools and skills to combat “Bob” (ocd)! I have improvement and then some days are just really hard but she helps me through ERP. It’s a journey not a race, but with Melanie helping me ever step of the way and The Most High leading us both, I am confident that “Bob” (OCD) won’t shake me to my core!!!!
J.F.
We dug deep and realized that a big part of my problem is bringing alone in silence with my own thoughts. We are going to start doing some exposure therapy with that. One of my compulsions in gone now. I just have to trust the process.
A.H.
What can I say about Melanie? She’s amazing!! She listens to what I say and is objective, and she has given me so many tools to battle “Bob” (ocd)! I thank The Most High for putting her in my life!! She truly a blessing!!
C.S.
Melanie is incredibly kind, patient, understanding, compassionate. She listens and always knows what to say. Her explanations are thorough, in depth and detailed. She’s so encouraging and I always feel so great after our sessions. I feel like I can truly conquer OCD with her. And I look forward to our sessions. She’s truly an angel, and takes so much pride in her work. I’ve only had 2 sessions with her, but she’s exactly what I need in my treatment . She doesn’t pressure, or push me into anything I don’t feel comfortable with. She’s funny, and tailors everything to my needs. Thank you Melanie!!!
J.F.
In our session today we did an exposure therapy. Melanie always makes me feel better after talking to her. In my exposure therapy I ended up doing great! I felt totally lost bc of deaths in the family but after taking with Melanie she let me understand that this is normal and I can get through this. And to be gentle with myself.
E.H.
Melanie has been the best therapist I’ve seen. She is so intuitive to exactly what I need. She’s helped me grow and overcome so much. God bless her. She’s so professional and smart and empathetic. I feel safe enough to tell her so many things I know I never could feel comfortable telling anyone else.
A.H.
Melanie is heaven sent!!!
J.F.
I ruminate over situations that I cannot control and today we went over some RPMs that I could use to help me when I get in those situations. It was a great session. I always come out feeling so much better after talking to Melanie.
E.M.
Melanie is a wonderful therapist! She gives practical advice, is very knowledgeable, and is so encouraging. I highly recommend her!
J.F.
Melanie and I did an exposure therapy today and it was harder than what I expected but Melanie assured me it was normal to feel anxious. I have been feeling up and down with my anxiety today but I am practicing my favorite RPM.
J.F.
Today we worked on a few things. I told Melanie how I am so hard on myself and she told me to try talking to a much younger version of myself. She asked how would I talk to my 10 yr old self and it clicked. I would never talk to my younger self the way I beat myself up now when I have a setback. Two thumbs up for Melanie Copeland.
J.F.
I have been going through some stressful times and some of my compulsions have geared up again. Melanie and I came up with some new RPM’s to help me and we did a session where I talked about my main fear and that helped a lot. I always feel better after talking to her. I definitely give her two thumbs up.
J.F.
I came into the session very upset bc my mother in law is ill. She helped me get through it and also how to be gentle myself. I felt much better after the session. Thanks Melanie!
V.D.
Melanie is professional and compassionate. She’s understanding but also effective at knowing when to listen and when to get down to business and work on kicking OCD’s behind. She’s great!
J.F.
Melanie Copeland did a fantastic job of letting me know this is a safe place to totally be honest and be yourself even if you are having a rough day. I came into this session feeling a little nervous and emotional. I cried for a few minutes and she reassured me that was ok and she wants me to feel free to be my authentic self. She made me feel comfortable. She’s has helped me a lot already.
A.M.
My therapist is absolutely AMAZING! Whenever I leave therapy, I feel like a million dollars walking! She makes me feel heard and validated. She always has time to discuss problem areas in my life and empowers me to solve my problems. NOCD has been life changing!
J.F.
I came into this session feeling very depressed ( I have other mental issues) and Melanie made me feel so comfortable. I was feeling overwhelmed and by the time the session was ending I was smiling again. She really gets me and remembers things I tell her in past sessions. I’m learning a lot. 5 stars for Melanie Copeland.
J.F.
Melanie listens so well and helps me put my random crazy thoughts together. We are a great match and we have 3 more sessions booked. Melanie Copeland is very good at digging deep but making sure you feel safe and I know I can trust her.
