Melinda Thomas, LMFT

Melinda listened to what I had to say without judgment. She also didn't try to push textbook messages at me, which I appreciated. Her place felt very at home not a Drs office feel. Very refreshing experience.

I was happy to see making an appointment, doing the assessments et al were all online. But, there is where my happiness ends. I requested an appointment for the 20th. There was no update on the app/via email after a few days, so I sent a message. I also called, just in case there was a technical issue, and had to leave a voicemail. No response. Over the weekend my requested appointment disappeared but it didn't show as accepted either. I then saw it was back on the calendar as an available time slot. So I sent one more message which, as you can guess, received no response. This doctor looked so promising from the reviews and list of expertise. It's physically & mentally hard enough trying to find a doctor but I have no choice but to move on.

My children used to see Miss Mindy when she was a therapist with Mount Pleasant school District through Excela Health. My children felt safe and heard. They had had previous experiences with therapists who just gave them worksheets or play games. Miss Mindy built relationships with each of my children where they felt safe to open up about their thoughts and feelings that were impacting them. I learned things that I never knew. She always went above and beyond and was active with family involvement. I was saddened to hear that she is no longer at the school as I have another child who would be attending next year. If I could find her I would follow her to her new location as I have never met such a dedicated thorough professional therapist who is able to help not only my kids but actively keep everyone involved and work with all systems involved.

I have had Melinda as my therapist as well over a year now. After 15 plus years of trying different therapists, I have finally found one that I can actually talk to. She is very professional, yet laid back and down to earth. I can literally tell her everything and anything. I feel like a million pounds has been lifted off my shoulder after each visit. You can really tell that she genuinely cares for her patients.
