My approach is completely centered on your needs. I will meet you where you are and tailor services to you—an approach known as Person-centered.
This approach aims to have you gain insight and independence. After all, you are the expert of your life and your experience. I see my role as supporting you in achieving your potential by honing in on your strengths and, ultimately, helping you become empowered.
I am an eclectic therapist that combines emotion-focused strategies with psychotherapeutic evidence-based approaches. The underlying principles in her approach are that treating anxiety, depression, relationship dysfunction, self-esteem and more can be traced to experiences, beliefs of shame, trauma, and other negative core beliefs in an individual. Finding out these aspects of a person’s life, naming them, and working through them are components of her counseling process.
I’m a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a background in nursing across a range of mental health settings, including outpatient care and higher-acuity environments. My training has focused on assessing, diagnosing, and treating conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma-related disorders, and substance use, using both medication management and psychotherapy. I completed advanced graduate education in psychiatric-mental health nursing, which prepared me to provide holistic, evidence-based care across the lifespan and to collaborate closely with other members of the treatment team.
As a therapist, my goal is to create a warm, empathic, supportive environment where we can collaborate to work through the issues you are struggling with. I want to help people feel empowered to create positive change in their lives. I'd be honored to work with you to help you be the best version of you!
I'm Melissa Avitia, a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor based in Texas. I specialize in working with adolescents, adults, and families, using evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and mindfulness to help clients navigate anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and school-related challenges. I graduated from the University of Texas-Pan American, and I'm passionate about creating a compassionate, empowering space where clients can build resilience and restore balance in their lives.
I help high-achieving girls and women who struggle with self-esteem and body image challenges. Many of my clients are “Type-A” personalities, excelling in school, careers, or competitive environments but feel trapped by an inner critic, fear of judgement, and a constant drive for control.
