Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Bryan, TX covered by Aetna

Hello!!!! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in the great state of Texas but also licensed in Florida. I also hold a doctorate in social work and 15 years of experience in the mental health field. I help adults cope with life stressors. I also help clients find solutions to some of the tough issues that life will take us through. I help facilitate and maintain healing.

I believe that every person deserves to feel heard, respected, and supported. Reaching out for mental health care can feel overwhelming, and my goal is to make that first step as comfortable as possible. I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, PTSD, and other mood and stress-related concerns. I understand that every person's experiences are unique, so I take the time to truly listen before creating a treatment plan. My priority is to build a trusting relationship where you feel safe discussing your concerns and confident that we're working toward your goals together.

I am double-board certified in General and Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry, with extensive experience in outpatient, inpatient and consultation practice settings, that spans civilian, military and academic milieus. I am licensed in AL, AZ, CT, FL, NY, TX.

My style is down to earth, warm, holistic, direct and collaborative. I know it takes courage to reach out for help, and I don't take that lightly. You can expect me to show up as a real person who listens with compassion and meets you where you are. You can feel safe being fully yourself with me.

My philosophy for therapy is that it should be a “short term investment for life long benefits”. As a therapist, I am calm, patient, direct and honest.

I strive to create a warm, nurturing, nonjudgmental space that is inclusive and collaborative, allowing us to explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. Using evidence-based approaches as well as humor and compassion, my goal is to partner with my clients to empower to help them to confidently navigate life’s challenges. Together we will explore stressors, limiting beliefs, and past trauma that may be impeding you from reaching your full potential, while also exploring your unique strengths and abilities. My 19 years of experience working in the school system, as a school counselor, is very helpful when I'm working with teens.

Hi, I'm Brittany — a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with seven years of experience helping adults navigate some of life's hardest chapters. I believe every person deserves care that's as unique as they are. I work with adults who are struggling with anxiety, stress, unresolved trauma, depression, grief, low self-esteem, and relationship or family conflict. My approach draws on evidence-based tools — including DBT, mindfulness, and trauma-focused techniques — woven together with a genuine belief in your capacity to grow. I hold a Master's degree in Rehabilitation & Mental Health Counseling from the University of South Florida and went on to practice therapy in three different states where I’ve worked with people from many different walks of life and cultural backgrounds. I offer telehealth sessions, so you can access quality care from wherever you feel most comfortable. Let me help you make the changes that you want to see!

My name is Melanie Hunter and I am a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience as a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) practitioner.

Thank you for taking a moment to read my profile! I specialize in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR. I work with clients who may be facing complex post-traumatic stress disorder caused by childhood neglect, abuse, or domestic violence. C-PTSD can lead to anxiety, depression, inability to regulate emotions, strained relationships, intense feelings of distrust, dissociation, or suicidal thoughts.
