Therapist in Irving, Texas Melinda Weber, Therapist

Has your child been irritable, sad, out of sorts, anxious, or unmotivated lately? Is your child having a hard time sleeping, making friends, or dealing with grief, pain, or out-of-control circumstances? Does it seem like parenting in today’s world is much harder than when you were growing up? Do you need support as your family works through something difficult?

Like adults, Children and adolescents experience feelings of stress, depression, grief, trauma, and social anxiety. They often need different types of therapy, however, depending on the child’s developmental level, personality, and issues that need addressing. Melinda works with patients as young as age four through adulthood. She uses a variety of techniques such as Play Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness techniques, as well as parent support through education and Family therapy. She tailors her individual treatment plan for each person based on specific needs. By working with Melinda, you can learn the best ways to communicate with your child and create a supportive environment at home. Melinda strongly believes in collaborating with parents to help you and your child get to a place of peace and happiness again. Your child can learn how to regulate emotions, challenge negative thought patterns, practice techniques to lower anxiety, and find healing from trauma in a comfortable, loving, child-friendly environment. Many times, Melinda’s clients leave the counseling center feeling happier, more adjusted, and better-able to deal with the curve balls life throws at them.

She completed her undergraduate degree in Communications from Dallas Baptist University and her Master’s Degrees in Marriage and Family Counseling as well as Christian Education from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
