More about me

Licensing: LPC, MA Years in Practice: 8 State: Texas

For many of us, myself included, counseling often becomes a process that refuses to come full circle. We are seeking help, but that help seems to elude us and we struggle finding the right fit or the right method that might provide the direction we need.

I was inspired to pursue counseling as a career by my desperate need for help along my life path, and my desire to provide that guidance and compassion to others, in a clear and consistent way.

I want my clients to know that although I may not have experienced exactly what you are going through, I want to be able to provide you with the power to gain some peace, and wade through that difficulty with you. You are not a problem to be solved, nor do your life issues define you. I hope to be a safe place for you, and a reminder that we all struggle and need support. I want to work alongside you to find the best way to get you to the place you want to be, using the training, knowledge, and skills I have developed to provide you encouragement and insight.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

Mel is a wonderful therapist, always validating and gently guiding and always so supportive. I am so blessed and thankful I get to work with her. I have grown so much in the time we have worked together.

She’s amazing! Very gifted and supportive

She is amazing!!

She was very kind and helpful.

She has been helpful and patient

Melakee has been very supportive to me and understanding of my feelings. She is very patient and considerate of my learning to do the chat and slowly trying to open up about things that I have blocked out for so many years ago. I look forward to hearing from her weekly. I have recommended Better Help to several of my friends and coworkers.

Mel is wonderful to talk to! She has asked important questions and directed conversation to think inward about why we might have our feelings. She has also many worksheets and resources to suggest looking into.

Thank you for your support.

Melakee has helped me work through so much in the few months I’ve been working with her. She listens, doesn’t judge, and ALWAYS validates how I’m feeling. I’m so grateful to know her.

Melakee helped show me which direction I should take for continued therapy. Without her I might still be seeking help

Mel is respectful, thoughtful, kind, patient, and helpful.

I've been working with Melakee for a short period of time, and I feel I've already grown a lot and she's helped me realize what areas of my life I should be focusing on. I've already been able to communicate accurately my feelings with my loved ones, something I've spent years trying to do and have never fully been satisfied with how it came out. Melakee has been walking me through my thoughts and emotions and I've finally found the words to do them justice. I'm incredibly thankful and cannot praise my therapist enough. Thank you so much!

Always helps me through my problems even though most days I can’t figure out what they are

Working with Melakee has exceeded all my expectations! I knew I was angry but didn’t know why. During the time we’ve been working together Melakee has helped me unpack a lot of things and my relationships with the important people in my life are much better because of it!

She takes her time to get to know you and sends you things after the session very flexible and so far understanding

The simple chats have changed my life. It’s so easy to schedule and stay committed to our chat meetings. It was clear to me with our first chat that my therapist has a strong therapeutic presence and having this touchstone has really created stability for me. I’m feeling much better than before I began with Melakee with better help. Thank you!

She’s amazing!! Wouldn’t want to go to anyone else.

I love Melakee! She is amazing!!

Melakee is extremely intuitive. She has helped me tremendously in processing the place I am in right now.

Great help and really easy to talk to

Melakee really listens to needs and offers very constructive and helpful advice and tools. Highly recommend!

I feel like I actual have the support I need and it’s only been a couple weeks!

She is fantastic

Melakee is a great listener and the more I can open up to her, the more she can help. We’re breaking down walls so she can give me the advice I need to help me through my anxiety, insecurities, and depressed feelings.

I feel validated and listened to when talking to Mel. I've never felt once that what I'm feeling or went through was my fault or invalid. I feel safe and trust her.

She is a very big help. I have nothing but respect for her taking the time out of her day to discuss and attack issues that I have. So thank you.

Very helpful and thoughtful

Mel is a great listener and very detailed in her feedback. She provides support and guidance in a very kind and gentle way. Have throughly enjoyed my time with her

Melakee is a wonderful therapist. She is so easy to talk to, very kind yet honest. She always has wonderful resources and suggestions to send over.

I have been really struggling this past year. I'm very far from the people in my life that I normally can turn to, so Melakee has been instrumental in my survival. Her advice has been solid and workable. I'm not completely healed but I can see a path clearing up ahead. That's a lot better than the near total darkness I was in.

Mel has been an awesome listener & makes me feel safe. I don’t ever feel like I’m being judged for what I say.

I have had a great experience using BetterHelp for therapy. It’s is a great option for people with scheduling constraints and like the fact that I can communicate to my therapist at anytime. They paired me with a great therapist Melakee who I feel was a perfect match for me. I have found her insightful and her guidance is clear and thoughtful. I look forward to continuing my work with her.

She’s incredible, she engages in everything you have to say and gets down to the root of the problem. She will have you digging deeper into yourself to allow healing and you will definitely be left feeling optimistic after each session. She is empathic and kind and I was quickly able to let down my walls with her. Also she is always on time for meetings and communicates with her clients. She will offer worksheets and articles to broaden knowledge about what you may be going through! Absolutely love her

This was my first time in therapy and although it’s only been a few weeks I can tell it’s absolutely what I needed. I feel very lucky to have Mel as my therapist. She understands me, asks the right questions and is very attentive. It’s heartwarming how much I trust her.

It’s still a little early, but so far I’m enjoying my sessions and I feel like progress is being made. Melakee is supportive, understanding, and I hope she can help me move my thoughts and coping skills in a much healthier direction.

I enjoyed my time working with Melakee! She was very attentive to me.

I have only been seeing Melakee for a couple of weeks. In that short period of time, I have been able to talk through things that way heavy on my mind and heart. It has been nice to get be able to openly share with her. She has a wonderful energy about her.

Being able to spot things I miss when thinking about my problems as a whole is important. Seems like I was given the perfect counselor for this. There are times when my emotions don't make sense and this is a strong point for Melakee.

She’s the best!!!

Melakee has been wonderful. She asks the right questions to get me thinking and then offers sound recommendations/ advice on how to proceed. I look forward to a long term relationship with her!

Melakee is great to work with, she is understand and helpful.

Mel is so kind and so welcoming. The nature of how she interacts is from a truly genuine place where you feel so comfortable to open up and share experiences with her. I appreciate her willingness to always acknowledge me and whatever I’m going through as we work to sort through different areas in my life. Truly an amazing professional, who I’m so grateful to have as help!

probably one of the most understanding people I've ever talked to friends included. She also gives a great perspectives on things I've never seen the way she does.

you can tell she cares when you send her a message or even in sessions, more like she wants to help you.

Melakee is a great counselor who balances empathy and logical processing mechanisms well.

I appreciate Melakee's professional yet personable counseling style. She listens intently and has really provided an effective space for me to cope with some critical life changes.

I am only a few weeks in with Mel and I absolutely love it. She’s very insightful and makes me think outside the box about myself. I like her approach and she responds in a timely manner which is important to me. She really helps me think things through when asking questions and encourages me to give myself some grace.

Melakee is an attentive listener and has provided excellent unbiased insight when I need it the most. I would highly recommend her to others.

She has been absolutely awesome and helpful. My situation is complicated and she gives practical advice. I also appreciate that she let's me vent and hears me out.

She’s amazing! So kind and caring. She is patient and genuinely tries to get the heart of the problem, revealing things you hadn’t even though about.

Melakee is amazing, she’s a perfect fit!

My time with her has been very short, but I really like speaking with her. She is understanding and really helps to break down where my issues are and to help me find ways to go about helping me fix them. She is very easy for me to share information with, and I'm very comfortable talking to her.

Melakee is so patient and understanding. She really listens and has shown me how to express my feelings. I always look forward to our sessions!

I was so nervous to start therapy in the first place. I wasn't sure what to expect nor did I find it comfortable to talk about myself. With Melakee I feel so confident in her understanding what I need and she's always there to listen and help.
