Melissa Mauchley is very knowledgeable and compassionate. She is an excellent resource for caregiver(s) and the family to assist them in developing methodologies to care for the person with dementia as well as the caregiver(s) and the family.

Melissa is a gifted LCSWC who knows how to guide her patients to handle their problems. Her recommendations are always on target.

Melissa listens and always follows through with emailed answers to our needs.

Melissa is a genuine insightful counselor. Since our first appointment she has helped me become a better caregiver for my wife. Not only that, she has helped me cope with the emotional struggles I face every day. Her recommendation for me to visit with Rebecca, psychiatrist was exactly what I needed. My visits with Melissa are always hopeful and beneficial. As time goes by, I feel more confidant in my self appointed role as a caregiver. Thank you U of U Neurology/Geriatrics for having such outstanding LCSW in your staff. I look forward to future productive counseling sessions with Melissa
