Is your family going through a challenging legal situation that is affecting you and your children? Are you dealing with painful dynamics related to divorce, custody dispute, or parental alienation? Many therapists avoid potential court involvement at any cost, but not me! I am a forensic child and adolescent psychologist. This means that not only am I very well-trained in helping kids, adolescents and their families with a range of mental health concerns but also that I am completely comfortable meeting with attorneys/mediators and even going to court if you need me to testify. The legal stuff won't interfere with me helping YOU.
I help families cope with the challenges of adjusting to divorce and changing family dynamics. I use evidence-based treatments to reduce anxiety and sadness, process complicated emotions, and guide you to parenting well through a family crisis. I offer forensic psychological assessments, court-mandated treatment, expert witness testimony, and custody evals.
I use evidence-based treatments to reduce anxiety, process complicated emotions, and guide you to parent well through a family crisis. The legal system is scary and families want to avoid these stressors at all costs. Let me help inside and outside the courtroom. I see clients in person at River Oaks and The Woodlands, or virtually in all PSYPACT states.
Take the first step to help. Call or Melissa Mignogna now - (936) 261-7992

Our first session will be a detailed intake without children present so that I can understand all of your concerns and the kinds of services that you are seeking. I will review all court and custody documents and consult with your attorney if necessary. Then, I will recommend a treatment plan which may or may not include assessment or therapy services so that we can move forward productively.

I tailor my approach to each family's situation. For forensic cases I use structured assessments and evidence-based frameworks. For therapy I draw on CBT, TF-CBT, and PCIT depending on your child's needs. Sessions are collaborative, practical, and focused on real outcomes.
