“Iuri has helped my son through several difficult struggles. Iuri is always positive and has taught my son how to infuse even the most discouraging and stressful situations with confidence to overcome those challenges and hope for better days ahead! I can’t think of a more important life skill for anyone to have-and I truly appreciate Iuri’s help in teaching him how to be hopeful and mindful, regardless of any circumstance.”

“Iuri was a fantastic therapist. He brings a positive and loving atmosphere with him to work. He likes taking action and getting out. I loved him taking me out for a few mini items and learning to rock climb. Although he is action oriented he still cares about you and listens to your concerns seriously. Overall a wonderful top notch therapist.especially great if you are willing to try rock climbing(you don’t have to be great it’s just the two of you)”

“My son struggled with anxiety and just the usual issues that boys experience when they start to become teenagers. Iuri was a blessing! He connected with him through climbing and rappelling which became my son’s favorite sport. Iuri was able to work with my son’s issues while doing something my son loved instead of sitting in an office. My son now wants to become a therapist just like Iuri.”
Jen S.

“‘I’m going to therapy😫’ can sound depressing, embarrassing and totally unenjoyable. But when you’re going to see Iuri you say, ‘I’m going to therapy!😃’ and you actually can’t wait to get there.

Iuri worked a miracle with me, I had sever Depression, Anxiety that was off the charts and PTSD. I couldn’t concentrate I had low self esteem and felt like giving up. It took awhile to get to the root of the problem but slowly I was able to overcome many of the things that were holding me back. One of the most important things was the severe Depression that had plagued me you many years. He worked closely with me and I believe that without his help I may not have survived what came next when I lost a son to Suicide. It was devastating and knocked me down hard. I know without a doubt that I would have lost my mind. The grief was so intense and the sadness pulled me down however I had worked on myself and had uncovered some inner strength, Iuri saved my life.

“Iuri Melo is excellent. Extremely knowledgeable and connects well with adolescents and adults. Iuri’s experience with rock climbing and bouldering was exactly what my son needed at the time. The self confidence and growth that he developed during these sessions was amazing. Sincerely life changing. I will always be grateful for what Iuri was able to do for my family.”
Jill B.
“Iuri is an amazing counselor, especially for teens. He helps them feel at ease and meets them where they are without judgement, then helps encourage them as they strive to move forward. The added adventure therapy that he has as an option is also a great method for counseling and building confidence that he uses. I would highly recommend him as a counselor.”
Crystal W.
“Iuri worked with my 6 yr old doing rock climbing during his sessions and it helped to instill more confidence in himself, overcoming fears, and achieving goals with success. Iuri immediately bonded with him so well and my son looked forward to going each time. I think Iuri's approach was so motivating and positive! Thank you so much!”

“Working with Iuri has been one of the most positive and helpful experiences of my life. His unique way of mixing therapy and climbing creates a fun and engaging atmosphere that allowed me to improve both my mind and my body.

Above all else, Iuri is a great friend who I feel blessed to have been able to spend my time with.”

“Iuri, and the work that he does, is amazing. I will forever be thankful to Iuri for the help he gave me and my family. When you are suffering with anxiety, depression, PTSD or any of the many things that people are suffering with, finding someone like Iuri to help you through it ,is like finding a light in a very dark place. Iuri is really good at what he does and I felt like he genuinely cared.”
Kerra R.
“Going through a divorce with a child was by far the hardest experience of my life to date. Iuri helped me to not just try and understand how to move forward, but to naturally experience an emotion without holding on and letting my circumstances take me down. He listened intently and graciously allowed me personal space to grieve and also to rejoice as I worked through becoming my “new” self as a single mom. He reminded me to be congruent in all things and to this day I hold that with the utmost respect for myself and others. I am forever grateful for my experience with Iuri. Namaste”

Missy J.
“I saw Iuri for two years. I was cautious of seeing a therapist because I thought a lot of them would just tell me a bunch of mumbo jumo that I didn't need to hear. Iuri wan't like this at all! He is so authentic and to the point. He helped me to break free from an abusive relationship that I thought I could never break free from. I value myself more and Because of him my life seems more open to possibilities and my relationship with myself is so much better! I'm happy like 90 percent of the time and the other ten percent of the time I feel like I can experience my emotions, but I stay on top of them it's wonderful. If you're looking for a good therapist, Iuri is your guy, he's awesome”

12 years ago I struggled with severe anxiety and depression. I had been to at least 6 other therapists and my mother wasn't sure how to help me. Every other therapist tried to sit me down as a young man and get me to explain what was bothering me when I literally couldn't find the words to express how I felt. I was so out of touch with my emotions and all I could do was hide them away because it was more comfortable to ignore they were there than feel the frustration on not being able to get it out. Everything changed when I met Iuri. He quite literally took me under his wing. I was very unwilling to try new things but he was charming and helped me get out of my shell and try adventure therapy. He taught me to rock climb, took me hiking, bought me food, showed me hilarious comedians to listen to and encouraged a sad and broken young man to believe in his dreams. He helped me quite literally climb obstacles I never thought I could and taught me to scream in pride afterwards. I drove by his office for the first time in 12 years and just wanted you all to know what a good man he is. Iuri, I very much appreciate everything you did for me.

Mark J.
“I can't say enough good about Iuri as a therapist. My family's experience over two years with his counseling services was so beneficial. The best thing about Iuri is that he cares, he's humble and he's smart. If you've experienced many therapists you may agree that finding a therapist who has all three qualities is rare. Iuri worked with my pre-teen and my twenty-something children and then later on with me through a divorce. I still can hear him say, "be congruent." He really gets kids and he helped our family immensely.”
Mary T.
“My family has relied on Iuri through several different issues over the past 14 years. We keep going back to him because he gets right to the point of the issue. He doesn't waste our time and money. Iuri is warm, cheerful, and optimistic. He has the healing gift as well as the license. You can safely trust in him.”
Lori J.
“Iuri has made such a difference in my life. With his guidance, I have made the changes necessary to find peace and happiness. I have learned to shift to a more productive way of thinking, which has helped me to cope with the stresses of life. I have made progress more quickly than past counseling experiences. Iuri is so positive and upbeat and helps me to feel I can conquer anything that may come along. So thankful everyday for what I have learned and the growth I have experienced!”
Ellen W.

Erin D.
“I have struggled throughout my life with finding a therapist that “fits” then I met Iuri. Iuri not only provides just therapy but adventure therapy and that works for me! Our times spent together climbing and putting up routes has been epic. In addition, Iuri has helped me in so many areas of my life; relationships, school, work. I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for him.”

Iuri Mello, is one of the best men I’ve ever met. He truly cared about my situation and my healing process and therefore did whatever he could to help. I’ve had to see Mr Melo at two different times periods in my life, When I was a kid/teenager I would see him every Monday for a couple of years. And now as an adult I’ve had to return to his office seeking the amazing skills he possesses. He’s helped me with everything from sever anxiety and depression, to fatherhood and family counseling. When it felt like no one else cared and I had no one on my team, he was there for me. He put the time in, and truly made all the difference in my world. Every time I’ve left his office, I’ve felt better then when arriving. If you or anyone you know are needing some sort of social worker or therapist, look no further. Iuri is your man. He’s THE MAN. And I highly recommend him for alll ages seeing as how he helped me both as a young kid, and now a grown man. If you need help, seek no further. This is the man who will help you. Five stars, without a doubt. Thank you sir, for all you have done.
