Melinda Switzer - Beauty for Ashes Trauma Therapy and Treatment
Counselor/Therapist, Melinda Switzer, MA, LPC, NCC
As one who has experienced complex trauma myself, I believe I can relate to my clients’ experiences and needs. My philosophy is no one should have to live under the shadow of trauma and how it affects the body. Trauma can be tough on survivors, but there is help and hope for healing. Most trauma victims exhibit some signs and symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This can lead to Anxiety, Depression, Disassociation, and a myriad of other mental illnesses. These are the areas I specialize in by offering healing and hope to my clients allowing them to be in control of their trauma and not their trauma being in control of them. Strong mental health is so important and can change the trajectory of your life by helping you go from debilitating disorders to manageable and healthy mental health.

Melaney Flaniken
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, B.S., Integrative Health Studies M.S., Clinical Mental Health Counseling
My counseling is rooted in trauma-informed care, existential exploration, and evidence-based practices like CBT and ERP. Whether you’re facing anxiety, navigating a life transition, or simply longing for more meaning and connection, we’ll work together to create a space where your voice matters and your goals guide the way.
You won’t get a one-size-fits-all approach here. Instead, you’ll be met exactly where you are—with compassion, curiosity, and a belief in your capacity to grow and heal.
If you're ready to explore your story, shift what’s no longer working, and step into a more empowered version of yourself, I invite you to reach out. Your healing starts with a single conversation—and I’m here when you’re ready.

RGV Cross Over Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, M. Ed., LPC (AL), LPC (TX)
I believe what makes a therapist great is the ability to love and accept their clients just as they are and to know that clients have the autonomy to choose and to make the best choice for their own life. Although there might be times when we are confronted with difficulties and trials, these are not permanent and clients can use these seasons for growth. This belief makes RGV Cross Over Counseling a great choice for you, and a stepping stone to crossover into healing!

Paigean Jones
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, LCSW, PMH-C, RYT-200
In a world that often values toughness, being a highly sensitive and soft-hearted person can feel like a burden. We might say “yes” when we really mean “no”. And we may feel like we have to act differently to fit in, even if it means putting others before ourselves. Sometimes it can feel tough to find our inner courage, speak up for what we want, and create positive boundaries. This can be especially true when we’re striving for success in our careers, supporting our loved ones emotionally, or navigating big life changes like pregnancy and the postpartum period.
