Melandi Murrell

Hi! I'm Melandi Murrell, owner and lead counselor of Happy Balanced You Counseling & Consulting, LLC. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor, and currently in the process of obtaining my LPC-Supervisor licensure. I am also a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) with the NBCC and a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP). I have over 10+ years of experience in working with individuals and families assisting them with achieving their goals and successfully navigating a wide variety of life challenges and transitions. I specialize in working with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, stress, and other challenges. We will begin by exploring your presenting concerns first so that we can get to the essence of the issue, process your thoughts and feelings constructively, and then join forces to develop wellness goals and an effective roadmap for success to achieve them. I use a strengths-based approach in my practice because anxious, depressive, and stressful thoughts will often try to overshadow the valuable strengths you possess and I want to continue to highlight them and bring them back to the forefront. I also often utilize cognitive behavioral therapy so we can begin to turn the volume down on those harmful thoughts and replace them with supportive ones. At HBY, my goal is to journey alongside you and collaborate with you on developing approaches that help you ease some of that load and reestablish a sense of calm and balance. HBY is a safe and empowering space that allows you to openly share your experiences and which areas of your life they are impacting the most. Here, you will have the opportunity to explore your presenting concerns so we can get to the essence of the issue, process your thoughts and feelings constructively, and then join forces to develop wellness goals and an effective roadmap for success in meeting those goals. You are not a carbon copy, you are an original, so your therapy journey should also reflect that. Your sessions will be individualized and specific to you, so no “cookie-cutter”, or “one-size-fits-all” approach. My approach is warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental. I believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and change, and I’m here to help you transform and achieve your ambitions. I use various evidence-based techniques to help you gain insight into your thoughts and behaviors, develop coping skills, and improve your overall well-being. My aim is to create a compassionate and supportive environment where you can explore your feelings and actively work towards healing. If you are ready to take the first step towards a happier, balanced, and healthier life, please do not hesitate to reach out for additional information. I look forward to hearing from you!
