Dr. Melody Hubnik

Dr. Melody Hubnik brings 29 years of experience working with individuals, families, and couples across Texas. She focuses on helping people navigate family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting struggles, ADHD, stress, anxiety, anger management, low self-esteem, career difficulties, depression, and coping with life changes.

She holds a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling and a Doctorate in Child Development. The doctoral study was pursued to deepen understanding of how childhood wounds can influence adult behavior, and Dr. Hubnik draws on that developmental perspective to identify where problems often begin and how to address them.

Licensed in Texas as both a marriage and family therapist and as a professional counselor, Dr. Hubnik uses an individualized approach for each person, family, or couple. Two of the primary frameworks she works with are Family of Origin - which explores patterns learned in childhood - and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - which helps people recognize and change unhelpful thinking that shapes relationship decisions.

She asks new clients to name one or two achievable goals before the first session so the work has a clear direction, comparing goal setting to planning a trip - identifying the destination makes it easier to know when you have arrived. Clients should not be surprised if she assigns homework, as she finds it helps keep progress moving between sessions. Trust is something she seeks to earn, and she encourages questions at any time.

Outside of her clinical work, Dr. Hubnik enjoys old cars, Marvel movies, good books, and time with family. She looks forward to meeting with prospective clients and beginning collaborative work toward their goals.
