Family Therapy in San Benito, TX

There has to be more in life than what I have! Why do I continue to drink or use harmful chemicals despite not wanting to? Why do I feel detached from life? Why do I continue to use these things that I know are lethal to me? Will things ever get better? These are a few of the many questions I faced daily in my personal battle with active addiction and alcoholism. The good news is there is a solution! There is freedom! One can recover from alcoholism and drug addiction. Let us walk together with you on your path of recovery.

Our intention in, and the emphasis on, behavioral health in our practice is to be broad and inclusive in thinking about the role of behavioral health clinicians in medical settings and in the treatment of physical, as well as mental health issues.

Our families are the most valuable assets that we have to invest within ourselves. There are many times that our family system becomes disrupted as a result of alcoholism, substance abuse or other traumatic events that leads to a dysfunction. You are not in this alone, our services and approaches are unique since they combine a holistic therapeutic approach to addressing these issues within our relational systems. We might not get back to normal since problems existed but we can become better and that is the ultimate goal of our approach. A new relational family system without systemic problems.

My interests and experience include working with personality disorders, trauma, anxiety and depression. Additionally, I assist successful individuals with adjustment issues such as relationship problems, divorce, works problems and general stress. Many of my patients have attempted therapy several times before and are pleased with my unique approach to understanding and helping with their affliction or helping them remove limitations to a fulfilling and satisfying life. Being raised in the valley and training in the DFW metroplex, has given me experience working with a diverse population of patients. Also meet Pav my therapy dog!

Hello! I'm Dr. Oscar Melendez, a Spanish-speaking and bilingual clinician, and I'm excited to announce that I am currently accepting new patients, starting from the age of 3 and up. I am an affirming and holistically oriented psychotherapist, specializing in assertiveness communications, emotional regulation and vulnerable populations, depression, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, individual counseling, couples counseling, and family counseling.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with Specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy. We provide counseling for adolescents and young adults with depression, anxiety, or parenting and family issues. We help you gain insight into your issues, process your thoughts and feelings, in the hopes of improving or resolving whatever is keeping you in distress using Solution Focused approach. We provide these services with our view of how God created and designed men and women in his own image (Genesis 1:27) and how we relate and change in relation to God.

You can heal in your goals by developing new skills to become the better person you want to be. By overcoming behavioral issues in whatever lifestyle and situation you find yourself in. In counseling, we can see our vulnerability as human beings where we find ourselves facing irrational ways of thinking that take us to negative feelings and then we act them out. Thus, the process of learning other ventures to life is to face ourselves at times with our own issues and learn to re-think things out. To heal ourselves is to also not only learn to change ourselves but to forgive ourselves along the journey of our lives.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Supervisor, I work from a systemic orientation that focuses on mental health concerns and the context in which they occur. I work with individuals (children and adults), families and couples experiencing distress.

I provide short-term psychotherapy services that are practical and solution focused. I take a collaborative approach in helping clients make the changes they are seeking. Additionally, I am certified in Rapid Resolution Therapy using Clinical Hypnosis, for individuals who have suffered trauma.
