Who am I?
Hi! My name is Melissa Barton, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor – Supervisor (LPC-S). I’ve been a licensed therapist since 2007, and a supervisor since 2012. I graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Psychology from Texas A&M University in 2004, Gig ‘Em! Additionally, I received my Masters degree from The University of Houston – Clear Lake in Clinical Psychology in 2007.
The greater Houston area is where I have served for as long as I can remember, but Katy has long been my home-base when it comes to providing counseling services. Recently, Fulshear has become another location for practice as well. Since I am a supervisor, not only do I provide counseling to those who seek out my services, I also supervise License Professional Counselor – Associates and Practicum Students at the Counseling Center at Cinco Ranch. Through supervision and consultation, I ensure that my supervisees are providing high level care to their clients. Another benefit to this is that they receive the training and guidance as necessary to gain knowledge, experience, and application of ethical principles. Please check out my current Supervisees here.
