LPC-S Services in Texas

Hi! I’m Gisell Melo. I have over 15 years of experience in the mental health field. As a proud Queer, Latina immigrant, bilingual clinician, and owner of Wings, my journey has shaped not only how I practice, but how I lead and supervise.

 

In my supervisory role, I am committed to mentoring clinicians with integrity, structure, and collaboration, supporting them as they grow into confident, ethical, culturally responsive, and reflective professionals.
