Getting to know Melissa Avitia

Hi! I'm Melissa, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. I received my Masters from the University of Texas Pan-American and have been practicing for over 8 years now. I help adults and teens struggling with life changes, anxiety, self-harming, stressors and depression become the best versions of themselves. I believe strongly that therapy in itself can foster an individuals drive to life and goals by providing you the space to openly express and develop the mindset and skills to enhance your strengths and reach those goals.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
