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

Melissa is great at helping you through the difficult times. Melissa is great about being non-biased and telling you when you are right, but also letting you know when you need to think a different way. Melissa does not say what she thinks you want her to say she helps walk you through and guide you through all of your emotions.

Melissa is very supportive, challenging and able to offer support needed. Her knowledge and ability to offer a no judgement zone help with being able to open up more and explore the challenges and feelings I have. 10/10

Melissa is fantastic!!! She is a great listener and most important to me she is able to show me the other side of how Im thinking. She asks pertinent questions to make me really think about my actions and thoughts. She has been extremely helpful and I would highly recommend her.

Melissa is everything I could have asked for in a mental health provider and more. Me and my boyfriend have been doing counseling with her and are extremely satisfied. She listens, understands, and makes us feel like we’re not alone in any struggle we may be facing. This is the first time I’ve done counseling and I was very nervous but she put my mind at ease in the first few minutes of our first session. I HIGHLY recommend Melissa!

Work with me!
