Hi, I am Melinda and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. Welcome and thank you for exploring my page. This is a little about me...I think we all have unique talents and gifts, and I feel that being a compassionate, caring person is my utmost calling. I also feel that if you have been through something yourself, you are able to be even more helpful because you have lived it.

My unique life experiences as a 55-year old includes being married, divorced, being a single parent of two children, and living with a chronic illness. I have experienced various types of grief including the death of a parent and a best friend. I have had close relationships with people that exhibited traits of NPD and BPD, and have experienced the profound pain that betrayal causes. I know what it’s like to be depressed and anxious too, to question your purpose, direction and meaning.

But here is another thing I know: healing from all of the pain that life brings is possible. You are not meant to stay stuck. You are born for something so much greater. Whatever your experiences are–you are not alone. You will grow and you will emerge with light and new found peace on this journey. If counseling is something you are seeking, I’d be humbled to walk with you as you share your story–and together–we will discover new ways within yourself to go forward.

In my down time I enjoy walking and running outdoors with my Corgi and Chihuahua-mix rescue dog. Being in nature is a spiritual, life-changing experience that keeps me going. I also love attending college sporting events–particulary football and basketball–especially with my children. I enjoy going to new places and learning new things and finding humor along the way. I love all types of music and credit music for being a forever-friend. I value being a mother, daughter and caring person to people of all walks of life. Some strong influences for me are Brene Brown, Gabor Mate, Wayne Dyer, Dr. Ramani, Viktor Frankl, and Pete Walker, to name a few.

Sports fandom is a curious thing. Millions and millions of people are drawn into it. Why? I think it’s in part bc sports mirror life—the ups and the downs, how you deal with adversity and keep going regardless. We’re also so drawn to a natural high that our team can give us, all the while knowing that at the end of the season there will be only one fan base—only ONE—that will reach the highest pinnacle of a championship in that sport. We know going into it that being that one team is extremely, extremely hard to do, but we’re ready for the ride anyway knowing that there will likely be a letdown somewhere along the way. The wins keep us going, keep us focused. And hope—it’s HOPE that keeps us mesmerized, at least in part. Isn’t it crazy just how accurately sports mirror life? So we’re here for it—the ups and the downs. And maybe—maybe—that can teach us to be here for ourselves, for our own roller coaster of a ride that life can be. We’re here—for all of it.

Grief is hard.

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BdtGFzKj6/?mibextid=wwXIfr

I missed you quietly today. So quietly that no one noticed.
I missed you as I climbed out of bed and as I brushed my teeth; when I waited at the lights on the drive into work and as I heard the rain outside my window.
I missed you as I ordered lunch and as I kicked off my shoes when I got home; as I switched off the lights and climbed into bed for the night.
I missed you without tears or noise or fanfare.
But oh how I felt it.
I felt it in the morning, at lunchtime, in the evening and at night. I felt it as I woke, as I waited, as I worked. I felt it at home, on the road, in the light, in the dark, in the rain.
I felt it in every one of those moments, each one sitting heavier and heavier as the weight of me missing you kept growing and growing.
Yes, I missed you so quietly today.
But I felt it so loudly.
