When I think of Melissa, it makes me cry. I am so damn grateful to this woman. Melissa has developed a method of assisting with multiple learning challenges. It is tough to incorporate her philosophy. The reason why is because the basis of it is to expose your child to different styles of learning and understanding, so that they don't get so comfy in one style or mannerism, that they are then too disrupted emotionally to advance within a new setting. Ultimately, her philosophy is based on resilience. Don't coddle a child - challenge them, love them, and help them to be resilient, especially

Melissa has been working with our son for a little over two months... and I can not say enough amazing compliments about Melissa and her willingness to help our family. Melissa has been an outstanding addition to our autism support efforts for our son. Her attitude, willingness, kindness and honest approach have truly helped our son, and we have only begun with her. With the implementation of her suggestions and advice, we are already starting to see progress. Not only is she incredibly professional, but she has a warm heart and beautiful attitude towards life. I would highly recommend Melissa

My family has been working with Bridging Pathways over the past year and the results have been invaluable. Our 6 year old son has struggled with losing and competitiveness and would completely fall apart emotionally, but after just a few sessions he was able to express himself from an emotionally intelligent place instead of breaking down. Bridging Pathways works with the entire family so the issues are approached holistically, and everyone is on the same page and involved with the process. We now feel confident enough to handle each situation as it comes up and are able to resolve things quickly

Melissa Reiner helped our son and our family when we were desperate. She gave us realistic strategies for managing his behavior and taught him to begin to self-correct. He is a different kid now, in a million positive ways. We had tried several different kinds of therapies over several years and nothing was helping. Melissa is the only behavioral therapist that I would recommend to anyone.

Melissa is a total pro. She has helped us with our 2 oldest boys over the last couple of years and her advice and guidance has proven invaluable. She connects immediately to children and can gain access to their thoughts and emotions that parents often cannot. She offers a framework for parents to work within taking the guesswork out of disciplining. I cannot sing her praises enough!

We had an incredible experience with Melissa. She not only helped our 5 year old daughter learn how to express herself confidently but she also helped my husband and I parent as a team. It has been invaluable. Our daughter enjoyed her time with Melissa and I know Melissa will be there for our family as someone we can depend on if something else comes up down the road. Melissa is more worth it!

They're absolutely one of the most honest and caring Psychic reader I have ever chatted too. They will tell you the absolutely truth and if they can't answer something also tell you honestly. Great Psychics available. Amazing tools used like tarot card reading, palm reading, crystal ball and phone readings.

Our experience with Melissa has been life changing . We reached out for help with my 6 year old. We needed a better plan and approach to dealing with my daughters inability to tolerate change and participate productively with the family. Melissa began working with us at end of last year and within a couple of months we began to see the improvement and I can say that four months in we are at a place that We started to enjoy my interaction with my child and my child is happier and the aggression has gone. We are walking proof that Melissa's approach works. Melissa is a great listener and works

I have nothing but wonderful things to share about Melissa. As an educator specializing in teaching students with learning and behavioral challenges, I thought I knew a lot about managing the difficulties in my own home. Before finding Melissa, I tried multiple positive behavioral approaches and reward systems to increase positive outcomes with my strong willed child, but most would work for a short time and eventually I would be seeking a new strategy. My husband and I had a hard time coming to an agreement about how to appropriately interact with our son due to my educational experience and his

I can not say enough good things about Melissa Reiner. In just one year we have seen so much growth with our son. I feel confident that no other therapist could have worked with us as a family to achieve this level of progress in such an accessible manner. She has been more than a therapist having gone above and beyond if we had questions or if there was an issue at school or at home Melissa always came through and has been a rock for the entire family. Communication issues, anxiety, processing, sibling rivalry, depression, anger management, picky eaters - Melissa has a proactive strategy for almost
