Melissa Barton, MA, LPC-S, CCTP

Owner and Therapist

Hello! Thanks for visiting our website.

Who am I?

I have been a therapist in the Katy area since 2007 and an LPC-Supervisor since 2012. I enjoy working with teens, young adults, and their families often dealing with school issues, career/college guidance, family conflict, self-esteem, depression/anxiety, self-harm, and transitioning into adulthood. 

Helping women build confidence, deal with relationship issues, set boundaries, and find their identity is also a passion!

Supervision

I love guiding young professionals starting out in the field! At the Counseling Center at Cinco Ranch, we often have LPC Associates and graduate students providing services. As a part of the supervision team, I provide board-approved supervision for the Associates, and university-approved supervision for students. Seeing new therapists build confidence and serve the populations they love is a wonderful reward!

Approach to Counseling

I take a client-centered approach to therapy, creating individualized goals with my clients.  I often utilize Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy & Solution-Focused Counseling. EMDR is a modality that I am trained in, and with this evidence-based approach, I assist adolescents and adults working through trauma, extreme anxiety and depression.

Extras

I have 2 teen daughters and an 8 year old son. I am an Aggie c/o 2004, WHOOP! In my spare time, I am an avid thrifter!
