Melissa Barry

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Texas. I received my Masters from Midwestern State University and have been practicing for 10+ years. I help adults struggling with feelings of anxiety, depression, stress, and with navigating life transitions and changes, all with the goal of helping them to become the best versions of themselves. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles and concerns and overcome difficult thoughts and emotions.

I believe it is important to acknowledge hard, difficult, and scary feelings and thoughts rather than ignore them, and my goal is to provide a safe space for you to do that. We will then work together to process and decide how to work through and move forward despite those hard and scary emotions and thoughts. I like a person-centered approach, meaning you are in charge. We go at your speed and things should always be comfortable for you during therapy.

It is possible for you to feel better after just one session! We will start with me getting to know you and gaining an understanding of what you are hoping for out of therapy. I want to hear your story! I want you to feel comfortable. I believe in a trust-based relationship and going at a pace in which you are comfortable. My hope is that you feel like you have chatted with a friend and been able to release some things you feel you need to, but also realize there was growth in the conversation.
