About
I am Melinda Barbour-Word, a retired USAF Major, wife of 29 years, and mother of five thriving young adults. Now a dedicated therapist, I bring a wealth of experience and empathy to my counseling practice. With a foundation in Substance Abuse Rehabilitation and Clinical Mental Health Counseling, I believe in the innate strength and resilience of individuals to heal themselves. I view counseling as a collaborative process, where trust and openness pave the way for growth and recovery. My clients can expect a safe space to explore their struggles and triumphs, guided by hope and encouragement. At Word Counseling and Consulting, a veteran-owned private practice, I specialize in mental health counseling and consultation. I guide individuals through challenges like addiction, trauma, life transitions, depression, anxiety, PTSD, stress, parenting, relationships, and peer dynamics, helping them achieve personal triumphs. I understand how overwhelming life can feel at times, but you don’t have to go through it alone. I’m here to help you navigate your challenges and turn them into triumphs. If you’re ready to take the next step toward healing and growth, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’m here to listen and support you.
