Do you feel overwhelmed or lonely? Maybe you just have day -to- day problems or you may have been dealing with mental health problems for a long time. Let’s get together and talk. You may find that this is a valuable way of getting a new perspective of yourself, or a way of motivating to do something different, or make changes that you never thought you could make with feelings of anxiety or depression. You want to feel better about yourself. I love making life easier for individuals of all ages and have been achieving that gratifying result for 19 years through the good graces of a grant-based agency, specializing in the care for victims of crimes. Working with the full range of life experiences for individuals, families, couples, adolescents, and children is needed in these times of change and uncertainty more than ever when life’s path does not seem so clear. I graduated in 1994 with a Psychology degree in 1994 from University of Houston, Central Campus. After working for a year in a half as a psychiatric technician in a psychiatric hospital, the desire to further my education became an imperative and I received my Masters in Counseling from the University of Houston, Clearlake in 2003, all the while gaining actual on-the-job personal experience working as a school counselor. If you like upbeat and positive dispositions, the cheerful attitude alone could give you a hopeful outlook. If you would like a committed therapist who will care about you, listen patiently while give you space to tell your story, then I may just be the one you are looking for. The areas of my expertise include relationship losses, intimacy issues, adjustment disorders, job related stress, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, depression and anxiety, family conflict, grief and loss, children behavioral issues, mood disorders, anger management, substance abuse, and helping victims of crime. As an example of my therapy techniques, for anger management, I incorporate a three-fold approach. Walk away or brush it off, apologize, or quit getting mad about the same things you get mad about. Your success does not happen overnight. It may take many weeks of practice, but in the end, you will get very good in your responses to anger, becoming skilled in assertive methods for subduing anger and relieving any stress. Working together to gather your history, understand your present problem, and getting to know your value system and the priorities you have in dealing with your issues is key to therapy. Sometimes a client just needs to be empowered with good listening skills from a therapist or receive positive reinforcement, maybe just be understood and wanting their feelings validated. Whichever approach we decide upon, all make our relationship worthwhile for me to walk the journey of life with a person, to unlock doors of awareness and understanding, help them walk through to reach rewards of a fuller life, enrich themselves to feel more alive, enjoy this world free of pain or suffering.

Welcome to BetterHelp! I look forward to knowing you and helping you to have a better, more peaceful and fulfilling life. My approach to counseling is relaxed - one person listening to and sharing with another - the simple, but not always easy, principles that make life better. A person can go to college, pass the tests and get the license. But a human being with heart, combined with past experiences can feel another's difficulties and emotional pain. Because of the victories and tragedies in my own life, I can relate to the hardships of others. Most of my career has been dedicated to helping people with emotional issues that steal peace and fulfillment. My graduate research was in the field of spiritual development. Whatever your personal religious beliefs might be, I am skilled at helping you find spiritual solutions to life's physical and emotional problems. I have 34 years experience assisting people heal from emotions relationship, and purpose of life issues. I relate to others, not based on gender, race, politics, or creed, but on the "the content of their character," as Dr. ML King said.

I’m a licensed counselor in Texas with 20 years of experience, specializing in crisis intervention and suicide prevention. While I have extensive experience working with individuals involved in the legal system—including those who are incarcerated, recently released, or facing legal challenges; my practice is open to anyone seeking support. I work with adults from all walks of life who are navigating stress, anxiety, depression, feeling stuck, or questioning, “Am I normal?” My approach is casual, compassionate, and collaborative. I believe that therapy should be a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be yourself, and I tailor each session to meet YOUR individual needs and comfort level. When appropriate, I also find that a sense of humor can be a powerful part of the healing process. I provided mental health services in jail for about 19 years and I have truly seen it all, so you never have to worry about being judged and don’t have to hold back or filter yourself. In addition to working with clients facing personal struggles, I also support professionals in high-stress roles; such as law enforcement, correctional officers, attorneys, and first responders. Reaching out for help takes courage and can feel scary, and I'm glad you’re here. Whether you're dealing with something specific or just feeling overwhelmed, we can work through it together.

If you're here, chances are life has been feeling a little heavy lately. Maybe you're overwhelmed, burned out, anxious, emotionally exhausted, struggling in relationships, or just tired of feeling like you have to keep it all together all the time. My name is Melissa and I work with adults facing all of those issues and more. My professional background includes hospice social work, child protection, and correctional mental health. Translate that from 'resume-speak' and it means I've had the privilege of supporting people through some of the more complicated parts of being human. I don't flinch at the hard stuff, and I definitely won't judge your story. My approach is warm, realistic, and down-to-earth. I believe therapy should feel like a genuine conversation, not like you're being interrogated by someone holding a clipboard and asking "and how does that make you feel?" every 5 minutes. I want therapy to feel supportive, comfortable, and actually useful in your real life. I don't believe in generic, cookie-cutter advice, because life isn't cookie-cutter -- it's messy. Because of my background I specialize in high-acuity resilience. Together, we will look at the systemic grids you are navigating, identify where you are losing your peace, build healthier coping skills, and find ways to feel more grounded and connected to yourself. You can expect a therapist who shows up as a real human being, and you can show up exactly as you are. I will challenge you when you need it, support you fiercely when things are heavy, and give you actual tools to use when you leave our call. What I can offer is a steady, compassionate space to help you navigate the hard stuff and celebrate progress, and maybe even laugh a little along the way. Therapy can be serious work, but that doesn't mean we can't still be human in the process.

Find a therapist near you in Tatum, Texas

Finding a therapist near you in Tatum, Texas starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Texas is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you. 

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Texas, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Texas, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.

Please note that therapists on BetterHelp do not provide psychiatric medication management or formal diagnoses.
