I am a licensed therapist with experience working with adults, kids 5 years old and older, preteens, and teens. I graduated from the University of North Texas and was trained in Play Therapy as well as individual counseling for adults.
My experience centers on supporting clients of all ages through a wide range of life challenges. Guided by a solution-focused perspective, I believe holistic healing is a foundational part of effective client care. I am trained in EMDR, a therapeutic modality that helps clients process trauma and other difficult life experiences that may interfere with personal growth, relationships, and mental health. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and other concerns that can make it difficult to feel grounded or move forward. I hold a master’s degree from Colorado Christian University and have received training in both play therapy and EMDR. I have also worked with clients experiencing dual diagnoses within the field of substance use disorders, which has deepened my understanding of the connection between emotional pain, coping, and healing.
A Collaborative Partnership for Meaningful Growth
Hi, I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes that the most impactful work happens through a dedicated, active collaboration. I am driven by those pivotal moments in therapy when clarity is reached and a path forward emerges. With nearly a decade of experience, I provide a focused space for individuals navigating anxiety, depression, or major life transitions who are ready to move beyond "just getting by."
My practice is designed for those seeking to reclaim their authentic voice through a committed therapeutic process. I work best with clients who view therapy as an active partnership and are ready to do work between sessions. Together, we will focus on the insights and practical tools necessary for your personal evolution.
Una Colaboración Dedicada para un Crecimiento Significativo
Hola, soy una Consejera Profesional Licenciada que cree que el trabajo más impactante ocurre a través de una colaboración activa y dedicada. Me motivan esos momentos clave en la terapia donde se alcanza la claridad y surge un camino a seguir. Con casi una década de experiencia, ofrezco un espacio enfocado para personas que navegan por la ansiedad, la depresión o transiciones importantes de vida y que están listas para dejar de "simplemente sobrevivir."
Mi práctica está diseñada para quienes buscan recuperar su voz auténtica a través de un proceso terapéutico comprometido y colaborativo. Trabajo mejor con clientes que ven la terapia como una colaboración activa y están listos para seguir trabajando entre sesiones. Juntos, nos enfocaremos en las perspectivas y herramientas prácticas necesarias para su evolución personal.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC-S) with 30+ years of experience. I provide tools, ideas, perspective and encouragement toward your particular goals. I work with individuals and couples on issues such as life transitions, anxiety, relationships, depression, and many more areas.
Hi, I’m Susan Melton, LPC. I work with children ages 8+, teens, adults, veterans, and families who may be navigating anxiety, ADHD, autism, emotional challenges, life transitions, or the unique experiences that come with neurodiversity and special needs.
Before becoming a licensed professional counselor, I spent many years working in education and supporting children and families in a variety of settings. I also have over five years of experience working within a private practice environment. These experiences have helped me develop a patient, compassionate, and practical approach to therapy that focuses on helping clients feel safe, understood, and supported.
I especially enjoy working with children ages 8–12, veterans, and families, as well as individuals with ADHD, autism, and other special needs. I am fluent in ASL and strive to create an inclusive and welcoming environment where clients can feel comfortable being themselves.
My goal is to help clients build confidence, improve coping skills, strengthen relationships, and feel more hopeful about moving forward.
The counseling relationship between you and I is one of mutual respect and responsibility. Starting with understanding where you are now and the challenges you are facing, we will work together to help you move forward and reach your goals. Therapy is a process that takes place in a non-judgmental environment where you are free to share your thoughts, emotions, and concerns.
I work with older adolescents, adults and couples. Clients come to me for a variety of reasons including recent or past trauma, various forms of abuse, relationship difficulties, life stresses and transitions, depression, grief, anxiety, as well as personal growth and development, among others.
Hi, I’m Debra. Life’s challenges can sometimes leave us feeling disconnected from who we truly are. I believe that each person’s story matters, and I bring a genuine curiosity and compassion to understanding the experiences that have shaped you.
Together, we can explore your personal narrative, identify patterns that may no longer serve you, and build on the strengths you already possess. I work with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, mood disorders, life transitions, and the everyday challenges that can impact well-being. My goal is to provide a supportive, collaborative space where you can gain insight, find healing, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and aligned with your values.
