Melody Hatter invites people to invest in themselves and believes every person is worth that effort. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed to practice in Texas, Iowa, Colorado, and Utah, and holds state-issued social work credentials in Colorado and Iowa. Currently based in Texas, she earned a Master of Science in Social Work from The University of Texas at Arlington in 2014 after completing undergraduate studies in Applied Gerontology.

With ten years of clinical experience, Melody’s background includes working in inpatient psychiatric settings and emergency departments with adults ranging from 18 to 95. She integrates evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, reminiscence therapy, and solution-focused therapy, among other modalities, to address a variety of concerns.

Melody is particularly focused on helping people manage depression, anxiety, addiction and substance use, grief, and suicidal ideation. She has supported individuals, couples, and families through change and works collaboratively to keep people safe and living in their communities rather than becoming hospitalized. She approaches each case with the conviction that there are options and practical solutions, and she brings an extensive clinical toolbox while encouraging clients to build their own coping resources.

Known for a genuine, straightforward manner that becomes apparent at the first meeting, Melody aims to help clients regain a sense of vitality and a fresh perspective on life. She does not provide faith-based therapy or prayer in session; those seeking a spiritually oriented approach are encouraged to pursue a clinician with seminary training. Melody cares about the people she works with and welcomes a conversation about how she can help.
