“I had the privilege of working with Melissa Collins, LPC-S, through BetterHelp, and I’m incredibly grateful for her support. Initially, she helped me develop coping skills to manage burnout and set boundaries, which were practical and effective. For a while, I was able to apply what I learned, but when I experienced baby blues, I knew I needed to reach out to her again. Melissa has a compassionate and insightful approach—she helped me process my emotions and provided me with actionable strategies that made a real difference in my daily life. I felt heard, understood, supported and empowered in our sessions. If you’re looking for a therapist who is both supportive and solution-focused, I highly recommend her.”

Getting to know Melissa Collins

My name is Melissa Collins, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor, Mediator, and Play Therapist with over 30 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in the mental health field. I hold a Master of Education in Counseling from the University of Houston-Downtown and a Bachelor's degree from Our Lady of the Lake University. I specialize in supporting survivors of crime, including those affected by the homicide of a loved one, sexual assault/abuse, domestic violence, home invasions, torture, exposure to pornography, trafficking, and drug use. Additionally, I work with individuals facing depression, anxiety, phobias, body dysmorphic disorders, borderline personality disorders, and addiction. My mediation services cover a wide range of areas such as family, child custody, divorce, elder care, employee grievances, and general civil litigation settlements. I also perform psychological evaluations for court and immigration purposes, including 601-A hardship waivers, N-648s, VAWAs, asylum letters, and U-Visas. I am an immigration-approved therapist. As a certified hypnotist, I provide hypnosis for weight loss, body dysmorphia, addictions, smoking cessation, motivation, developing positive habits, and reducing or eliminating negative habits.
