Hi - I'm Melissa!
I am passionate about journeying with you during the difficult times and giving you the tools you need to become the person you want to be.As a military child and wife, I bring a unique perspective to navigating life's challenges. At Spence Counseling in Austin, TX, I integrate faith as a healing tool into a comprehensive mental health plan. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and United Methodist clergy, I understand how personal struggles with issues like depression and perfectionism can affect seeking help. I am here to journey with you, providing support and the tools you need to achieve peace and self-love.
Am I a good fit for you?
I specialize in providing faith-based counseling for life transitions, grief and loss, difficult relationships, and emotional overwhelm. With a compassionate approach, I aim to address the mental, emotional and spiritual well-being of individuals seeking healing and growth.
Strengths-Based Affirmative Counseling
I strive to create a safe, sacred space for all individuals, regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, or socioeconomic status. All are welcome and treated with respect and dignity.
