Melissa Kummer Dague
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or weighed down by anxiety, OCD, or past trauma? You don’t have to face it alone. Together, we can build on your strengths, find clarity, and create practical tools to bring calm, confidence, and hope back into your life.
I have been practicing since 2008, specializing in OCD, anxiety, and trauma. I take a strength-based approach, helping clients recognize and build on their existing resilience. I am trained in Inference-Based CBT (iCBT), Exposure Therapy (ERP), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and EMDR, giving me a variety of evidence-based approaches to tailor therapy to your needs.
My goal is to create a supportive, collaborative space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.

CPT
Dr. Olivia Blandford
Psychologist, Ph.D.
With degrees in neuroscience and clinical health psychology, I am passionate about and highly familiar with the links between our brains, our bodies, and our mental and emotional experiences, and I feel deeply privileged to have a career in which I get to share this important knowledge and helping others feel less alone in their journeys. I help individuals and couples with relationship problems like conflict, betrayal, loneliness, and estrangement, as well as the difficult feelings these problems bring. I also specialize in stress and trauma and am passionate about helping people make sense of highly stressful life events. I also love physical activity and strongly believe our mental health is holistic, and we take care of our minds and hearts by taking care of our bodies.
Above all else, my mission is to show up for you as a fellow human who cares about your story and is truly paying attention. Combined with a decade of clinical expertise, I prioritize warmth, authenticity, humor, and kindness. I won’t just sit there and nod. With me, you can expect individual therapy and marital therapy that is quality, research-backed, and tailored to your needs. I strive to be the kind of therapist that I always wanted as a client: someone willing to dive deep and offer enthusiasm and encouragement along the way. You deserve nothing less. see myself as a collaborator, a fellow human who gets what it’s like to struggle and can offer feedback, celebrate your strengths, and help you reach a better understanding of yourself and others. I also value your input and feedback throughout therapy so I can make sure I deliver what you are needing.

CPT
Elizabeth Starnes
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, ATR-BC®, REAT
Reaching out for support often means something in your life feels too heavy to carry alone. You don’t have to navigate it by yourself. I offer a space that moves at your pace—without pressure or expectations—where you can begin to make sense of what you’re carrying.
I work with individuals navigating trauma and PTSD, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. Together, we gently explore patterns shaped by past experiences and how they continue to show up in your thoughts, relationships, and sense of self. This work isn’t about forcing change—it’s about creating space for clarity, self-understanding, and a deeper sense of trust in yourself.
My approach integrates talk therapy with expressive arts therapy, grounded in specialized training in art therapy and intermodal expressive work. This means we actively use modalities such as visual journaling, storytelling, movement, and other forms of creative expression as part of the therapeutic process—not just talking about your experiences, but engaging with them in ways that support deeper understanding and change.
Clients often describe me as steady, down-to-earth, and genuine. I value creating a space where you feel safe, seen, and able to show up as you are.

13 Years Experience
Online in Laredo, TX Texas
Laredo is one of the most culturally unified US-Mexico border cities in the country — with a population that is over 95% Hispanic and where Spanish is the dominant language of daily life — making bilingual, bicultural therapists not a specialty but an essential baseline for meaningful access to care. The city's economy is driven by international trade and logistics, with one of the busiest land ports in the United States, and therapists frequently address the occupational stress of commercial transport workers alongside the immigration stress experienced by families maintaining ties on both sides of the border. Laredo Medical Center and the Laredo VA Outpatient Clinic provide institutional resources, while the therapy community overall is relatively sparse compared to the population's scale. Webb County's concentration of poverty and social stress amplifies the need for community-accessible mental health services.
