LGBT therapists in Midland, TX

My name is Marilee Melendez and I have been practicing for almost 5 years. I received my bachelors in Psychology from Texas Tech University and my masters in Counseling from University of Texas Permian Basin. As a first generation Mexican-American I deeply connect with how our cultural backgrounds affect our lives. I provide therapy in both Spanish and English. I have experience with trauma, immigration documentation, LGBTQ+, couples, children, adolescent, and adults.

I am deeply and extremely passionate about mental health and providing the utmost care for my clients. I am very warm and practice positivity, kindness, active listening/understanding and trauma informed care. It is very important to me that you feel heard, seen and accepted. Even when you may not feel your best or find yourself at your lowest, I want you to know that I’ll be right there in your corner. Together, we’ll explore strategies and tools to support your overall well-being and help you navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence and resilience.

Hi! I'm Amy. From my background in early childhood education, to my master's in counseling from the University of North Texas, from an internship with an addiction-focused residential site to EMDR training to clinical leadership in a partial hospitalization program, I use my wide breadth of experience to inform my practice.

Hi, I’m Andrea Brown, a Licensed Professional Counselor with 4 years of experience helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, and life’s challenges. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your thoughts, or struggling to balance everyone else’s needs with your own, you’re not alone. Therapy can give you the space to slow down, understand what you’re experiencing, and figure out what you need to feel better.

My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free space where you feel comfortable being yourself. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, women’s issues, and cultural or identity-related challenges. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you, build practical coping skills, and help you feel more confident in handling life’s ups and downs. You don’t have to have everything figured out to get started — we’ll take it one step at a time.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and retired nurse with more than 25 years of experience in healthcare, social work, and behavioral health. Born in Texas and raised in Brazil and Chile, I’ve spent much of my life moving between cultures. I provide therapy in English, Spanish, and Portuguese and bring that multicultural perspective into my work.

I work with adults navigating anxiety and overthinking, depression, relationship difficulties, narcissism, grief and loss, caregiver stress, aging, identity concerns, and major life transitions. I also provide LGBTQ+ affirming therapy and help who want to create a meaningful life on their own terms and figure out what you want the next chapter of their life to look like.

I have a particular interest in helping people who have spent years being the dependable one—the partner, parent, caregiver, professional, or person everyone else turns to—and are beginning to ask, “What about me?”

I believe that every person deserves to feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, my goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you can openly discuss your concerns and work toward meaningful change. I understand that seeking mental health care can feel overwhelming, and I strive to make the process approachable, collaborative, and personalized. I'm committed to partnering with you to help you achieve your goals.
