As a Missouri Ozarks native, nature and the outdoors have always played a huge part in my healing journey and mental health. Growing up, I was outside any chance I got; riding bikes, riding horses, climbing trees, bird watching, rock collecting, camping, hiking, floating, boating, spelunking, exploring creeks, and enjoying campfires. Nature immersion, movement in nature, outdoor recreation, and horsemanship remain part of my daily practice; and I incorporate these into my therapeutic work wherever possible.

Welcome!
Thank you for considering me as your therapist. I am Brenda Melton, PhD, a Licensed Professional Counselor with a background in nursing. I hold several specialty certifications and have experience treating anxiety and depressive disorders, as well as working with individuals struggling with addiction, personality disorders, and the effects of trauma.
One of the most rewarding parts of therapy is experiencing those "aha" moments—when a realization, insight, or new understanding suddenly brings clarity to a complicated life experience. These moments often provide direction, open new possibilities for change, and inspire hope for healing and growth.

If you're carrying the weight of depression, anxiety, or a past you haven't been able to fully
process, you don't have to figure it out alone. With more than five years as a Licensed Clinical
Social Worker, I work with adults and seniors who are ready to make sense of what they've been
through and start moving toward the life they want to build.
I have a particular passion for working with people navigating mood disorders like bipolar disorder,
trauma and PTSD, and the kind of emotional challenges men often face but rarely talk about. I also
work with couples who want to strengthen their connection before things fall apart.
