Melissa Tatum

I graduated from Tarleton State University-Central Texas with a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology. I have experience working as a Licensed Professional Counselor in the mental health field for 16 years where I assisted many clients work through their PTSD, depression, anxiety, effects of chronic illness, grief, and a variety of concerns with LGBTQ.

I focus on adults, using cognitive behavioral therapy and cognitive processing therapy to help my clients think about the issues they’re facing from a different perspective and how this affects their behaviors. By changing the way you think, you can feel empowered to enact great change in your life and find a balance that is right for you. I believe together, we can face the barriers life throws at you and help you find a way to move forward.

Life at times can feel chaotic and stressful, especially when things are not going to plan. This, in turn, can cause an imbalance with our thoughts and emotions that can lead to depression, anxiety, unwanted thoughts, or overwhelming feelings. All of this can be especially disruptive if we don't have the correct tools to use to help us work through them. I can help guide your mental health journey and together we can learn how to manage the challenges life throws at you.
