Welcome to Merciful Minds! I’m Melissa Rios, LCSW, here to walk with you on your healing journey. I specialize in helping adults—especially military personnel, spouses, and veterans—cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life transitions. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT and optional faith-based support, I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, we’ll work together to renew your mind and restore your sense of peace.
I offer individual therapy for anxiety, depression, and trauma, with optional faith-based integration using biblical truth and CBT. I also provide couples counseling, group therapy for emotional healing, and support through life transitions, career changes, and personal growth.
Taking the first step toward healing can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. I offer a safe, supportive space where you can feel seen, heard, and empowered. If you’re ready to work toward peace, clarity, and emotional strength, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and faith-based counseling in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and identify the most effective approaches to help you heal. With CBT, we'll examine how your thoughts influence your emotions and behaviors, and I'll help you challenge and reframe those thoughts to improve how you feel.
