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.

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 Rob Evans, and I work with teens and adults who are anxious, grieving, or figuring out what comes next. Health concerns often come into the picture. Stress, physical health, and mood are all connected, and all of them have a place in our work together. Before counseling, I was a respiratory therapist. I spent years working with people through illness, stress, and uncertainty. I later made a career change of my own, so I understand what it's like to step into something new without having all the answers. Sessions with me are practical and direct. You don't need a polished story to begin.

I use CBT most often because it gives us something concrete to work with: we look at the thoughts and habits that keep you stuck, and you leave each session with something to try before the next one. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate in Texas, supervised by Shaunté Collins, LPC-S, with an M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Texas at Dallas.

We can start wherever you are. If something has been weighing on you and you're ready to take a closer look, reach out and we'll see if we're a fit.
