Paul D. Myers MA LPC Supervisor
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor
Counseling has been my life's calling since I was 17 years old! 40,000 counseling sessions later, I am still just as passionate about helping others as when I first started. Seeking help means you are taking responsibility for your life and I applaud you for that. My approach to therapy is warm, objective, and empathetic. I work hard to create a judgement free space, that originates from a Christian faith based perspective. I want therapy to be concrete for practical application and for you to feel confident in implementing tools after you leave. It has been extremely rewarding to help over 10,000 families heal from a wide variety of struggles and I would be honored to partner with you towards meeting your goals.
My wife and I own and manage a group counseling clinic with 8 clinicians total that we train and manage. Dont hesitiate to ask if you have any questions before we get started.

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.

McAllen is the largest city in the Rio Grande Valley, a predominantly Spanish-speaking border region where the daily realities of life on the US-Mexico border—immigration, family separation, cross-border economic uncertainty, and the psychological stress of living in a highly scrutinized border community—shape the mental health landscape in ways that are unlike those of any other part of Texas. Spanish-language therapy is not merely preferred but essential in McAllen, and the demand for bilingual practitioners far outpaces supply in a region that is chronically underserved for mental health professionals per capita. The Rio Grande Valley ranks among the most underserved regions in the country for mental health care, and while health systems like DHR Health and South Texas Health System provide some behavioral health services, many residents go without needed support. Common therapy concerns include immigration-related anxiety and trauma, family separation stress, economic uncertainty, and the complex identity challenges of life in a bicultural, binational border community.
