Gene Garcia

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Springfield, MO


I am a therapist and strategic behavioral‐health leader with more than a decade of experience supporting youth, families, and adults navigating complex trauma, transition, and systems involvement. My background spans emergency shelter work, foster‐care transition programs, community‐based counseling, and clinical supervision of multidisciplinary teams.

Clients often describe me as steady, collaborative, and deeply attuned to the stories people carry. I bring a trauma‐informed lens to every interaction, honoring the resilience people develop in the face of adversity. My work is shaped by years of program development, crisis intervention, and advocacy for underserved communities — and by a belief that healing grows in environments where people feel seen, safe, and respected.

Dr. Brenda Melton, PhD

Therapist

Virtual • St. Louis, MO


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.

Therapist

PLEASE CONNECT WITH THE PROVIDER TO SCHEDULE FOR A TIME THAT’S MORE CONVENIENT FOR YOU.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, mood changes, difficulty focusing, or the weight of past experiences, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own.

I’m Adelma Reyes, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with over 20 years of experience working with adults. I support people navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and trauma-related concerns.

I believe therapy is a space where you can feel truly heard, understood, and supported. Together, we’ll gently explore what’s been weighing on you, make sense of patterns that may be holding you back, and build practical tools to help you feel more grounded and in control. My hope is that you leave sessions feeling clearer, stronger, and more connected to yourself. I offer therapy in both English and Spanish.

Therapist

Virtual • Missouri


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.
