Melanie E. Meier, MA 1215 Encino Drive, Pleasanton, TX 78064

"Melanie is down to earth, patient and comforting, with a gentle but helpful way of guiding. (I switched to Melanie after unhappy experiences with another counselor, who didn’t listen so much as tell me to go on a spiritual path, and lessened my traumatic experiences by stating that “the whole world experiences this in some form”, and then never addressing it again. I felt like I was talking to someone with a premade enlightenment agenda that was trying to fit me into it) . My experience with Melanie was completely different. She communicated with me less like a patient and more like a very good and kind friend. She gave me the one thing I wanted very badly: someone to listen to me, to really listen to all the things I was thinking and feeling and had been through, even the things I couldn’t voice to anyone else. She made me feel like I had personal stories and feelings worth listening to, and she showed genuine compassion. Her advice and her personality really clicked with me and I believe that she helped me let go of a lot of burdens I’d been dragging around. I highly recommend her as a counselor."
