Melodi Howard

Hello, I’m thrilled you’re here! As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Alabama and Texas, as well as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Kansas, I prioritize your mental health and well-being. I understand that starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and finding the right therapist is a significant step. Congratulations on taking this essential journey towards personal growth! With 15 years of counseling experience, I have dedicated the last decade to clinical practice, helping adolescents and adults aged 16 and up navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress management and various mental health concerns.

I believe that each individual is unique, and your treatment should reflect your distinct needs and experiences. If you choose to work with me, we will collaborate as partners on your therapeutic journey, grounded in open communication and mutual respect. I’m here to listen and support you as you explore your path, encouraging reflection to help you gain deeper insight into your experiences. My commitment to providing comprehensive care is grounded in a holistic and trauma-informed approach designed to empower you with the tools and support needed to cultivate a meaningful and balanced life. I utilize a range of therapeutic methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Somatic Therapy, along with additional interventions tailored to your specific needs.

During our first session, we'll explore what led you to seek support, gather information for a customized treatment plan, and establish clear, adjustable goals to guide you in achieving the changes you seek. You can expect a welcoming and safe space where your thoughts and feelings are heard. Our time together will be structured yet adaptable, emphasizing practical steps to support your growth.
