Find a therapist in Texas — covered by insurance

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.

I believe that meaningful change happens when clients feel safe, understood, and supported. Reaching out for therapy can be difficult, and I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where clients can openly explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences.

I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship concerns, stress, and challenges related to cultural identity and immigration experiences. As a bilingual therapist, I provide services in both English and Spanish and understand the importance of feeling comfortable expressing yourself in the language that feels most natural to you.

My approach is collaborative and tailored to each client's unique needs and goals. I believe that while our past experiences can shape us, they do not have to define our future. Together, we can work toward healing, building resilience, strengthening relationships, and creating meaningful change.

Whether you are navigating a difficult life transition, processing painful experiences, or simply seeking greater self-understanding, I am committed to meeting you where you are and supporting you throughout your journey.

As a licensed clinical social worker with a master’s degree from The National Catholic School of Social Services, I bring extensive experience from my work in university-based teaching hospitals and ambulatory care clinics. My practice focuses on supporting adults and their caregivers through challenges such as anxiety, depression, complex medical conditions (acute and chronic), medical trauma, loss, grief, and significant life transitions.

I have a specialization in guiding individuals and their caregivers through the cancer journey, encompassing every phase—from diagnosis and treatment to recovery, survivorship, and end-of-life care. I have also worked extensively with patients undergoing stem cell transplants, CAR-T and immunotherapy.

My training and experience also includes helping individuals manage disorders of the brain-gut interaction. Support, education and strategies address the connection between the mind and gastrointestinal health. Recognizing that everyday stressors can greatly affect your well-being, I adapt my clinical approach to suit a variety of life situations, always tailoring care to meet your unique needs.

I am here to help you meet your personal goals regarding your mental health.

As humans traverse through life, one should never feel that they are walking in solitude. The experience of relational conversations that affirm, support, and empower should be common. Yet, that is not always the case which is why I do what I do; I counsel, I encourage, I motivate with joy!
