Melissa, was my therapist when I was in High school.I was having a really hard time at home with my parents due to their poor relationshipMy siblings making bad decisions, my unstable family that was falling apart, and me feeling that I had to handle it all, causing me to become overwhelmed with very bad coping skills, and uses of illegal substances.Melissa used several methods to reach out to me, most, if not all of her methods seemed to work well for me, and I considered her someone I could open up to and discuss everything that I was going through, and even the things that I was doing in secret.She listened. That’s mainly what I remember. I don’t remember feeling criticized, which probably was one of the major factors that helped me open up, yo get to the bottom of lot issues, what was simply to speak and confront my own fears of not being understood - or better yet, to simply speak up and confess my emotions whether people liked it or not.I understand this now 10 years later.I won’t ever be perfect, but I will try to be a better version of myself every single day. And with me, I take much needed insight, and professional help!We all need help.So if you can’t fix your mental/emotional instability. I highly recommend you look for someone such as Melissa Penwell to Help You As a guide.She will take a look Inside your secret room, and will point at the tools you already have so YOU can pick it up and use it to benefit you.

Ms. Penwell is easy to talk with. Been seeing her for a while.
