I could not recommend more. Mellisa is so friendly, sweet, funny and genuinely caring. She helped me when my anxiety and other things were out of control and gave me the tools needed to become better and to continue growing in positive directions. If you’re struggling and don’t know where to start/where to go, Mental Health in Color is the perfect place.

For the first time, i’ve felt peace coming into her sessions getting ready for what she can help to offer. I don’t think i’d be where i am right now if it weren’t for her. Dr. Lehto is such an amazingly and insightful person who cares for her patients and does incredible at her job.
