Hello! I'm Melita, and I'm so glad you're here. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life, and taking the first steps towards change is a big deal. If you're ready to take that step, I'm here to support and empower you every step of the way.

My counseling style is supportive and understanding. Life can be exceedingly challenging to navigate, especially during major life transitions. These moments can significantly impact our well-being, especially if we don't have the proper tools to work through them. I believe in treating everyone with respect, patience, and compassion. My approach begins with building a trusting and therapeutic relationship in the safety of our counseling sessions. I combine cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive counseling to tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

I graduated in 2012 with a bachelor’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling with a concentration in addiction studies and a minor in psychology. In 2015, I obtained my master’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) in Texas and Virginia, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) in Texas. With over 8 years of experience in various settings, I've worked with clients of all ages, from 5 to 85, in both inpatient and outpatient settings, as well as in higher education as a career counselor, job placement specialist, and advisor.

I specialize in a wide range of areas, including addiction, ADHD, adolescent and teen mental/behavioral health, anger management, antisocial behavior, anxiety, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, children's mental/behavioral health, depression, eating disorders, family relationships, grief/bereavement, intimate/romantic relationships, LGBTQIA+ support, life transitions, military/veteran support, narcissistic personality disorder, OCD, phobias, PTSD, stress, suicidal ideation and/or self-harming, and trauma.

In our sessions, I aim to help you arrive at insights, strategies, and tools that you can begin using immediately to make positive changes in your life. We don’t just sit and talk; I love to provide you with concrete tools whenever possible and help you have a plan for the following days before our next session, if that is the pace at which you would like to move. Most importantly, we will ensure we are making progress on the goals you have for yourself. I will be there to guide you, encourage you, and possibly even challenge you if I feel you are unknowingly allowing obstacles to stand in your way.

I look forward to working with you and helping you build a life worth living that is unique to you and your preferences. Let's take this journey together.

How do we select providers listed on PsychHub.com?

The care options presented consist of treatment providers that we have assessed to be quality providers across a range of services for mental health, substance use, relationships, and other well-being needs. We aim to include only high quality providers and multiple viable options for those seeking care.

What is the relationship between Psych Hub and these providers?

The providers listed on our site are all independent entities from Psych Hub. We only list providers where we have a contractual relationship with a network, group, or practice that a provider is a part of, or where we have a direct contractual relationship with the provider. That contract governs the terms of participation on the Psych Hub site, and in some cases, as mentioned below, the provider’s, group’s, or network’s use of Psych Hub's educational content. There is no other affiliation between Psych Hub and the providers listed on our site.

Do participating providers pay us?

To make our site free for consumers, Psych Hub receives fees from provider groups, networks, or individual providers to connect with potential clients who are a fit for their services. Some also purchase Psych Hub's educational content for practitioner training and client support. These fees enable us to operate our service, including screening and updating information on each provider.

How do we determine which ones to display?

Rather than make specific provider recommendations, we present options and information so you can make an informed decision on what provider best fits your needs. Where we have multiple participating providers, we present multiple options (and where we don't, we prioritize adding more options to our site over time). We present providers whose capabilities, insurance coverage, availability and other attributes best match your stated needs. If many providers appear to equally meet your needs, we display a selection of them at random. Our decision on which participating providers to display is never impacted by the amount of fees we receive from them.

What causes us to remove providers from our site?

We require that providers meet all licensing requirements of states where they offer services. If a provider loses their license, they are removed from our site for that state or service. We also seek feedback from users on providers they find on our site. We investigate significant negative feedback and remove providers if we conclude that to be appropriate.
