Melissa Davoli, LCSW

I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Melissa for helping me get through one of the most difficult times of my life. She's an attentive listener and always expressed sincere empathy for what I was dealing with. I've recommended several friends to her and they all report the same positive experience. I've dealt with depression and anxiety for most of my adult life and have been to more than a few counselors. Hands down, I can say Melissa was easily the best. Thank you, Melissa.

Melissa is awesome! She is a great listener & is not judgmental. I am a middle aged adult who had seen therapists in other cities. I called & said lets cut to the chase. This is my issue; its a bit out of the box. Have you worked with this before or not. Without hesitation she said yes. I went in for the first meeting & have been going back ever since. She shares office space, but, like me, works for herself. She is very professional but not clinical. Don't confuse the two. Highly recommended!

Melissa has been an amazing partner in my development through some rough times. She is compassionate, but challenging when she needs to be. I feel completely comfortable trusting her with what I feel and what I need. I credit a lot of my peace of mind and ability to navigate difficult waters to her. I would recommend her without hesitation.

Melissa is an excellent Social Worker and Therapist. I would highly recommend her to my family or friends. She cares very much about your well being and to help you in any aspect of your life that you are having difficulty or issues. She has helped me learn how to overcome challenges that life has put in my life. I have learned so much from her, and it has helped me tremendously.

I have never felt so comfortable opening up to anyone, much less a therapist. I was able to tell her things I had not even told my husband. I still see her monthly and am thankful I found her.

I've been a patient for 2 years and have found Melissa to be candid and caring in her approach to my situation. Initially I saw her weekly and have moved to biweekly. My reason for seeing her has abated but we continue to work on the underlying issues. She helps me with issues, concerns, life skills and is a good voice of reason or sounding board for path forward. I don't expect answers for everything but it's good to get other points to consider, alternate paths, and other resources.

I worked with Melissa on and off for about 5 years. Though it's been a few years since my last session with her, I continue to be grateful for - and use - the skills she taught me to help with my anxiety. She has a special talent for asking the sorts of questions that create new, healthier patterns of thinking and behavior. I found her to be very genuine and straightforward - I appreciate that she challenged me (I'll talk with my friends if I want on-stop validation) in the kindest way possible.

Melissa seems relatively competent. However, her demeanor is not warm, there is no depth of empathy, and her apparent baggage with payment issues from clients makes her very focused on receiving payment than attending to her patients or understanding cancellation issues.
