I've had a number of therapists over the years, and none of them have come close to what Melissa has been for me. She helped me get my life back. She is a huge part of the reason I am still here, living and breathing. She made me feel safe enough to start imagining a future again when, for a long time I couldn't.
At one point she told me that she didn't go back to school until she was a little younger than I am now. I swear, something clicked in me right then. It made me realize that maybe it wasn't too late for me either and not long after that, I decided to go back to school. Now I'm working toward a career where I can hopefully be that person for someone else someday. If I can help even one person the way she has helped me, it will all be worth it.
I really do believe mental health is health, and I wish therapy were treated as normally as going to any other kind of doctor. Finding the right therapist can genuinely life changing. I know that because mine changed my life.
So if anyone in Phoenix is looking for a therapist, I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend Melissa Ziervogel. I don't say that lightly. She is extraordinary, and I will never be able to fully explain how grateful I am for her or thank her enough for all she has done for me. read more
