I have over 20 years of experience working with individuals, families, and couples navigating life’s challenges. My specialties include supporting people struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship stress, family conflict, and trauma. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and I use an eclectic approach—drawing from multiple evidence-based therapies to meet your unique needs. Clients often describe me as warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. My goal is to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where you feel understood and supported as we work toward meaningful change.
I know what it’s like to want change and feel unsure where to begin. That’s why I created Oh Shift-a space to pause, breathe, and start again. As a dual-certified Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of experience, I bring clinical expertise grounded in genuine compassion. I don’t believe you’re broken, I believe you’re becoming. Your story matters, and this work is about helping you shift into the next version of yourself with clarity, confidence, and intention.
My name is Melanie Hunter and I am a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience as a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) practitioner. I hold a Master of Arts degree in Professional Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Texas State University. I began my career working with adolescents through a non-profit organization and then later, adults in employment settings. My work providing telehealth counseling with adults began in 2020.
