Her clinical approach is client-centered and culturally responsive, incorporating evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, as appropriate to the client’s needs. Ethel focuses on helping clients build coping skills, emotional regulation, and insight to support meaningful growth and emotional well-being.

Meltzer Counseling wishes everyone the opportunity to reconnect with ourselves, each other, with nature and to recharge and reset this holiday week. We can better care for others if we create opportunities to renew ourselves physically and emotionally. Holidays are challenging for some. Pausing to share kind words, appreciation or an unexpected invitation may be much more meaningful than we can possibly know. We want to thank our many partners in the community, for being there when we need a quick resource or consult and for thoughtful gestures . Really need to send a shout out to Deidre Whitt from Reflections Wellness who dropped off a unique basket made by Lindsey Fortney with The Little Pink Kitchen. Definitely unique, it came with lights, treats and maybe some of the best home baked Cinnamon bread! We have both in person availability and are providing telehealth for all ages throughout Texas. Clinicians trained in communication and various types of therapies including cognitive behavioral therapy, DBT skills training, social and emotional learning and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Clinicians have experience with couples and relationship counseling, anxiety counseling, depression, grief counseling, trauma and anger management. Clinicians in network with UHC PPO, Cigna PPO and BCBSPPO have current availabilities. Some Clinicians available to offer up to 12 free sessions for families with minor children in Dallas and Denton counties. Spanish speaking clinicians. Child, adolescent, individual and family counseling. Many appointments within 3 to 5 business days. Some evening and weekend availability. Affordable self pay fees for clients throughout Texas. Some in network availabilities for both in person and telehealth. Clinicians bios can be found at www.meltzercounseling.com

Meltzer Counseling is privileged to be part of a collaborative community. Our core mission is continue learning from experts in the field to improve our ability to provide the most considered care for our clients. Thank you Meadows Outpatient Center Dallas for The Tell Me More event with Jenni Schaefer and Erie Hebert. They did an incredible job of distilling the definition of trauma, the various impacts of internalized messages and ways to support clients in understanding the utility of their current behaviors. The work helps clients learn new ways to move forward in more sustainable ways that align with their values. Both presenters shared clinical and personal examples. Jenni shared the benefit of neurofeedback in her recovery. These learning opportunities and relationships help us better serve our clients, their families and the community. We have clinicians with availability. Major insurance, reasonable self pay and up to 12 free sessions for families in Dallas and Denton counties with children ages 6 to 17 through our Family Tree program. Several sliding scale options. Most appointments scheduled within 3 to 5 business days. Some evenings and weekend availability. Spanish speaking clinicians available. Www.meltzercounseling.com

Meltzer Counseling is privileged to be part of a collaborative community. Every Friday we participate with Richland Oaks Counseling for a 2 hour case consult. It’s an opportunity to support and learn from each other. Last Friday we were so fortunate to have Mayor Amir Omar join us for consult. He was gracious with his time and experience, shared goals for the community and asked excellent questions on how we can collaborate to improve access to care and address the mental health needs of our diverse community. We were also joined by Adrianne Richardson Collins, President of the Multicultural Alliance. The focus was how to improve understanding and connection within our diverse communities and clearly both these leaders have a passion for service. These relationships help us better serve our clients, their families and the community. We have clinicians with availability for both in person and telehealth. Major insurance, reasonable self pay and up to 12 free sessions for families in Dallas and Denton counties with children ages 6 to 17 through our Family Tree program. Several sliding scale options.

Meltzer Counseling is privileged to be part of and support a collaborative community. Some events bring people together, some events have a long term ripple effect to some of our most vulnerable populations. Yule Tide Bingo and drag show brings together the recovery community, mental health community and supports the only LGBTQ sober living in the area. It’s an incredible organization offering hope and community for a much better life without the grip of substances. Possibly the most fun event of the year. These relationships help us better serve our clients, their families and the community. We have clinicians with availability. Major insurance, reasonable self pay and up to 12 free sessions for families in Dallas and Denton counties with children ages 6 to 17 through our Family Tree program. Several sliding scale options.
