You do not have to struggle with your thoughts and emotions in silence. A peaceful life is possible no matter what the surrounding circumstances are. We are mostly troubled by our perceptions of the situations around us, not by the situations themselves. Sometimes, our thoughts are the scary part of our story, not our reality. And even when reality gets harsh, our thoughts and the way we see this reality will determine how we feel about it and how much we suffer. I am an LPC who practices mostly cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I share the tools that are not only evidence-based and supported by extensive research but also that I've seen work with me and my clients/patients. Working on our thoughts and behaviors will affect every aspect of our lives, and relationships. We do not have to be a hostage to our unhelpful thoughts, we have tools to work on that. Anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, and relationship troubles are only some of many examples where this kind of therapy can help, and I would like to be that therapist who can help you achieve that change in your life.

The clients I serve come from diverse backgrounds, and I tailor my therapeutic approach to meet their unique needs. Whether it's addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, or relationship issues, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their feelings and experiences. I empower clients to take an active role in their healing process, guiding them toward greater self-awareness and resilience. Through our work together, I aim to have a lasting impact on my clients' lives by helping them develop healthier coping strategies, improve their relationships, and find fulfillment in their personal and professional lives.

Hi there, I'm Melissa. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based near Austin, Texas. I work with clients state-wide utilizing telehealth. I have always had an interest in helping others. I have practiced therapy for 17 years. My approach to therapy depends on the needs of my clients. I believe in meeting clients where they are as everyone is an individual with their own indvidual needs.

Are you searching for someone to listen to you? For many years, I have heard over and over, “Thank you, I have just been wanting someone to listen to me”. I have always felt led to just sit and listen when someone opens up and spills their heart to me. I have been a licensed social worker for 30 + years, working with clients in healthcare settings and case management. In addition to being a licensed social worker, I completed graduate school and met a lifelong dream of becoming a licensed professional counselor in 2022. I have worked with the senior population in skilled, nursing, private homes, and inpatient physical rehabilitation for 30 years. This brought me to not only work directly with the senior population, but also their family members to provide the love and support needed to get through life's challenges and circumstances. I have gained experience in helping work through stress, anxiety, depression, family dynamics, job loss, marital problems, physical limitations, and/or disabilities, as well as long-term life-altering situations. I am a wife, a mother of two young adult children, a mother-in-law, a grandmother, a sister, and a daughter myself. My own life experiences help to ground me while supporting others. I understand and know how family dynamics affect an individual’s physical and emotional health in all aspects of their daily lives. I am trauma-informed. I understand and realize that traumatic experiences (no matter when they happened in life) can follow us down the road when we don't even realize it is happening. Once a client understands how trauma affects their brain function and daily life, they can realize the power they have to make positive change in their lives, where before they may have felt stuck or powerless.

Hey there! Are you feeling a little overwhelmed lately? You’re not alone. Maybe you’ve been juggling a million things, second-guessing yourself, or trying to keep everyone else happy while quietly burning out. If that sounds familiar, I see you and I’d love to help. I work with millennials, professionals and creatives who are ready to stop running on autopilot and start feeling more connected, calm, and confident in their own skin. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, going through a big life transition, struggling with boundaries, or just feeling “off,” we’ll work together to make sense of it and create space for something new. In our sessions, you can expect compassion, curiosity, and maybe even a little humor when it fits. I use an integrative approach rooted in evidence-based practices like CBT, but I also bring creativity and flexibility into the process because therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither are you. This is your space to breathe, reflect, and grow. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to show up and we’ll take it from there, together.

Trauma hurts. It can be sudden, life-altering and overwhelming, or chronic, subtle and nearly unnoticeable, but either way it can change the way we think about others, the world, and unfortunately, ourselves. Dealing with the aftermath—changes in our relationships, lashing out toward self or others, feeling nothing and/or everything all at once—is sometimes as hard as the initial event, especially when society, friends and family and our own minds tell us to “just get over it.” Worse, sometimes we aren’t even sure where the trauma came from in the first place, leaving us confused and even feeling hopeless. If you could just “get over it,” you would, but sometimes the brain simply cannot process traumatic events without help, and this is why trauma therapy exists. :) I'm an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas. I've been in practice for nearly 15 years and have been doing EMDR therapy for 13 of those. I specialize in helping teens and adults process trauma of all kinds. My goal is to help my clients gain the skills needed to process and adapt to traumatic memories, and then allow them to do so in a safe environment. I teach them how to build boundaries and follow through, and to treat themselves with self-compassion rather than judgment and harsh expectations. Trauma doesn’t have to ruin (or run) your life. If you’re hurting, please know I’d be happy to help in any way I can.

What if you could write the story of your life? The truth is, you can, you are in control of your destiny, you are writing the story of your life right now. The choices you make are directly related to the thoughts you have. That puts you in control, you have the ability to change the way you think, and when you change the way you think, you change your life. The thoughts you are thinking right now are writing the story of your life. If you are not happy with the story, you can reprogram your thoughts to change the story and write it the way you want it to go. Together you and I can work to manage the challenges you are facing today. Therapy may seem scary or even overwhelming, but with the right partner you really can change your life. Together we will explore how your thoughts and the dimensions of wellness are affecting your life and find a path to change the story of your life, to one of positive emotional and mental well-being.

Hello! I am a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience. I have been working with Deaf clients for the last 25 years since graduating with a Masters in Social work from Gallaudet University. In addition to Deaf clients I have worked with clients with multiple disabilities and their families to navigate the journey of self-advocacy necessary for their success. I find great value in every individual I work with and value their story, background and abilities. My goal is to help you identify the areas you would like to improve on in life and work through steps for your success. Related to my therapeutic approach my practice focuses on strength based therapy. Since you know yourself best my therapeutic approach is person-centered and solution focused.
