Hi, I’m Melissa! Thanks for visiting! My ideal client is someone who’s ready to take accountability and implement change. I believe accountability is one of the strongest foundations for growth. When you can own your choices and patterns, you can shift them and move toward your highest self. With 20 years of experience as a social worker, I support individuals who are navigating depression, anxiety, stress, anger, and self-esteem challenges. I also have experience working with people who have been impacted by foster care, domestic violence, court system, family conflict and traumatic events.
Jackie specializes in supporting teens and young adults as they navigate life's challenges, such as anxiety, life transitions, and relationship dynamics.

I have a variety of experience providing individual, family, and couples therapy to a range of clients from young children to adults. Having worked in environments including the school system, outpatient facilities and private practice, I have a solid understanding of how to collaborate with clients to identify their needs and provide appropriate support or connect to the right community resources. Throughout my career, I have gained experience with navigating conflict resolution, addressing general DSM-5 diagnosis’, and helping clients increase emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Maybe your brain will not slow down long enough to finish what you started. Maybe the worry arrives before you are even out of bed. Maybe something happened years ago that you have never really put down. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors carrying ADHD, anxiety, depression, and trauma, and I have spent over six years doing it across private practice, schools, and clinics. I work with people of all ages and abilities, in English or Spanish. It would be my honor to be a part of your journey.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Pasadena
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Pasadena starts with looking for identity-affirming care. An affirming therapist may support concerns related to identity, relationships, family stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention affirmative therapy, experience with gender-diverse people, WPATH training, or LGBTQIA+-affirming care. Finding a therapist who fits your needs matters beyond credentials, and a detailed profile can help you understand how they approach care.
In a smaller city like Pasadena, the number of local LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists may be more limited than in larger metro areas. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still helping you find someone licensed in Texas. You may also want to compare appointment availability, therapy approach, therapist background, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading each therapist’s profile can help you see whether they clearly work with LGBTQIA+ people and how they describe their communication style.
Therapy in Pasadena can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer upfront cost estimates before you book. You can browse profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
