Therapists in Texas

Life has taught me we are never finished learning and growing. I am person who loves old cars, Marvel Movies, good books, and family. Peoples’ life stories fascinate me and stoke my curiosity as well as being impressed with my clients' endurance, strength, and courage. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Marriage and Family Therapist with 28 years’ experience working with individuals, families, and couples. My clients have taught me no one can truly walk in someone’s shoes; even similar experiences are different because people are different. I obtained a Master’s in Professional Counseling and a Doctorate in Child Development. My Doctorate in Child Development was acquired to add a dimension of understanding to my clients. My studies indicate most of us have childhood wounds that effect how we deal with life as adults. By understanding human development, I often see where the injuries began and how to help to overcome these challenges. People bring an array of issues into our counseling sessions. Whether it is anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, parenting struggles, lack of motivation, or trauma from the past all can be dealt with in therapy. An individual approach will be devised for each person, family, or couple. Trust is something I expect to earn from my clients, so please feel free to ask questions. I strive to create a therapeutic environment comprised of nonjudgmental compassionate care. Two of the many theories I work with are Family of Origin (FOO) and Cognitive Behavioral (CBT). FOO allows an exploration of patterns learned in childhood and how we deal with these influences. The CBT approach helps people understand how decisions about relationship are formed and change negative thought narratives. Before our first session please define one or two achievable goals for our focus. Goals help me stay on task with what you want from our time together. The analogy I use for goal setting is like planning a trip. Are we headed to New York or Los Angeles? It is important to know which direction we are headed. By knowing the destination, we then know when we have arrived. I will work within your values and goals. Do not be surprised if I give you homework. I find it helps keep clients’ therapy in motion. I look forward to meeting with you, Melody A. Hubnik, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT

I have over 20 years of experience working with cancer patients and patients with mental health issues. My background includes individual and group counseling, as well as crisis intervention. I have worked with patients from 12 years old to 80 years old. I have worked with issues that range from depression to schizophrenia. Regardless of the issue, worries, stressors that you are dealing with we, together, will design a treatment plan that will help guide you to where you want to be in your life. I take a holistic, open minded, therapeutic approach with all my clients. I wish the best outcome that you can imagine. Every treatment plan will be based on your needs - your goals. I do not believe that we all fit nicely into the same box. Everyone is an individual and walks their own path, that includes me. I have a very open view of religion and metaphysics. I can provide Spiritual Guidance when requested. I am working on a degree in Metaphysical science and on becoming an ordained minister. I do not believe in one religion over the other. I believe in helping you on your spiritual journey.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I stress the importance of developing a trusting relationship with my clients with the purpose of helping them understand the origin and nature of their issues and concerns so that we can overcome them. When we empower ourselves to make choices and changes for our own happiness, we can begin to live the life we want and not have to suffer through a life that we don’t. I practice a Solution-Focused and Systems-based approach. I believe that everything in one’s life is connected and complex. By identifying specific problem-factors, a person has the capability to decide to make changes that will result in their desired solution. I'm ready to be your catalyst for change, so let's get to work.

My personal approach: I especially respect the individual uniqueness of each person who becomes my client. There are no clones in my office. My expectations for you are not based on standardized universal norms for what to think, what to do, and how to feel. With respect and honoring your unique situation I work with clients to better understand areas of their own life situation and set their own personal goals for change. We will explore things that are holding you back and discover your own strengths and resources to help make the change. If you are looking for extra support while faced with a challenging situation and you are ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.
