I am a Licensed Professional Counselor informed in the Biology of Trauma, Internal Family Systems, and EFT (tapping). I utilize a multifaceted approach to better match the needs of my clients. I work with individuals aged 14 and up along with couples. I believe that within all of us is the power of growth to build a life that is healthy and whole, starting with recognizing and accepting these same attributes within us. No matter what challenging situations life has dealt, there is a way to rise above what they caused and witness an existence of wellbeing and peace. I see it as an honor to help my clients reach this destination.
I have 22 years of experience working with children, adolescence, and adults. I am passionate about the work that I do as a therapist and consider it an honor to walk through life's journey with my clients.
Hello, I am Melendra. I believe that there is no one approach that will fit all clients, I tailor my approach to each client, ultimately assisting in understanding how their life experiences shape who we are today. I strive to provide a gentle and warm experience, ensuring clients are comfortable within the therapy setting and process through a genuine relationship.
I have always been drawn to people’s stories and have a passion for helping people rewrite their narratives, discovering their strengths and creating resilience through healing. I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology from TCU and my Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Texas Wesleyan University. I enjoy reading memoirs, listening to any kind of music, cooking, yoga, and spending time with my family, especially outside.
I am a strong advocate for ending the stigma that surrounds mental health. Everyone needs counseling, yep... even me! Join me as I destigmatize counseling services one session at a time. As a previous school guidance counselor, I have experience providing counseling to teens. I have a peaked interest in psychoeducation; including but not limited to, coping skills, boundary setting, attachment styles, locus of control, self-esteem, cognitive distortions, core belief work and much more.
I am a warm and creative counselor dedicated to helping clients reach their full potential. I enjoy working with individuals ages 3 through adulthood, guiding them on their mental health journey through empathy, collaboration, and goal setting. By using research-based practices, I strive to empower each person to grow, heal, and become the best version of themselves.
