Current Availability. You aren't meant to stay stuck. You are born for something so much greater. Whatever your experiences are, adversity teaches us something and we can grow from it. Counseling will provide clarity in a safe space as well as gentle support to guide you forward. I enjoy working with adults, couples, and adolescents with anxiety, depression, self confidence issues, relationship conflict, communication issues, trauma, grief and chronic illness. I've been a private therapist for 3 years and have been in the field for 9 years. I'm passionate & invested in my work with my clients. Your growth matters to me.
First, I want to get to know you. What have you experienced and how has it shaped you? We will examine your thoughts & your history then develop an action plan together to address the root of your challenges. I am trained in EMDR trauma therapy and draw on solution-focused therapy, CBT, DBT and inner child work during therapy.
I’m available in-person in Lubbock and online throughout TX. I accept most most insurances and also offer cash pay. Also, check your employer to see if they offer free sessions through an EAP program. Contact me for a free 15-minute consultation or send me an email and I will get back to you within 24 hours. Best, Melinda

In the first session, we will explore what brought you to therapy & determine the best approach to help you make progress. I am trained in EMDR therapy which is a modality where the client reprocesses difficult experiences. It is often helpful when other approaches have not been successful. I also draw on inner child work and helping you identify thoughts patterns that are influencing you.
