Melissa Fogarty is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of experience. She started her career with children and adolescents at risk for mental health issues such as personality disorders, mood disorders, trauma and PTSD, abuse, depression, and anxiety. She soon discovered it is important to consider outside influences on behavior and began working with families as a system. This allows clients to share their stories and allows Melissa to put all of the pieces together for a better understanding. A passion for helping others live their best lives drives Melissa to be so dedicated.

Melissa earned her Master’s in Counseling from Amberton University. She uses a systems approach, including family systems, cognitive reprocessing therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and person-centered therapy to help clients. The goal is to find the missing pieces to your puzzle. Families may be invited to help create a supportive environment.

Melissa takes an analytical approach. By seeing things through her clients' eyes, Melissa has an uncanny ability to completely empathize with her clients, meet them where they are without judgment, and create a safe space to work together on finding answers. Reach out today!

I'm a licensed professional counselor associate (LPC associate) and a graduate of Texas A&M University–Central Texas. My experience spans a continuum of care, from inpatient treatment to intensive outpatient and outpatient settings, including a year-long internship at an inpatient hospital. I have also facilitated violence prevention groups and worked with court-mandated individuals. My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). While I do not currently specialize in one specific area, I'm committed to continually expanding my knowledge across a broad range of mental health concerns and client populations.

My approach to counseling is grounded in the belief that you have the power and the reins in your own life. I see my role as a sounding board, guide, and supportive partner. Stress management is an important part of my approach. I also believe counseling should consider the whole person—work, relationships, children, and pets all influence wellbeing.

I recognize choosing to begin counseling is a meaningful decision, and I don't take the time you share with me for granted. One of the quotes I've carried with me is, "Be the leader you wish you had." That idea reflects how I strive to show up—with honesty, compassion, respect, and genuine care. If you feel ready, I invite you to schedule an appointment.

I'm a licensed professional counselor (LPC) passionate about helping people break free from patterns that keep them feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. I work with adolescents and adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, life transitions, and substance use concerns. Many of my clients come to therapy seeking relief from emotional pain, healthier relationships, greater confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose. I provide a supportive, honest, and judgment-free space where healing and lasting change can happen.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and goal-oriented. I draw from evidence-based therapies including CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and trauma-informed care to help clients develop practical coping skills, improve relationships, manage emotions, and build confidence.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to face life's challenges alone. Whether you're seeking healing, clarity, or personal growth, I'd be honored to walk alongside you on your journey. When you're ready, I invite you to take that next step toward the life you want to create.
