Hello! I am glad you found your way here and I have the opportunity to introduce myself. I am a trauma-trained Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor with more than 16 years of experience supporting individuals across the lifespan. My professional background includes extensive work with trauma survivors, as well as children, adolescents, and adults navigating mental health concerns and life transitions. If you are visiting this page, please know that you do not have to face these challenges alone. Take the next step in your self-care journey and reach out by phone or email to learn more about how we can work together.
I believe it is important for clients to find a counselor that fits their personality. I combine effective research based approaches with a warm, friendly, southern personality. There is almost always laughter somewhere in my sessions, even on the tough days. Client's should leave counseling sessions with a feeling of being lighter, understood, and valued.
Life is hard and we all face challenges that can feel too big to handle on our own. Luckily you don't have to walk through these challenges alone.
I'm Melissa Avitia, a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor based in Texas. I specialize in working with adolescents, adults, and families, using evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and mindfulness to help clients navigate anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and school-related challenges. I graduated from the University of Texas-Pan American, and I'm passionate about creating a compassionate, empowering space where clients can build resilience and restore balance in their lives.
As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide compassionate, evidence-based care for children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, sleep difficulties, mood symptoms, and other mental health challenges.
I worked in education for 10 years, teaching at-risk youth and special education. I received my M.Ed. in Counseling from Tarleton State University in 2015 and have been working in the mental health field since that time. I specialize in trauma and working with women and young adults experiencing life stage changes. I am trained in EMDR and Trauma Focused CBT, and use an eclectic approach which allows me to modify my approach based on client need.
