Welcome to Bloom Within Counseling, PLLC!

Healing starts with a conversation!

Hi, I’m Melanie Burns, a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPC-Associate) in Texas.

I’m supervised by April West, LPC-S.

Do you spend a lot of time showing up for everyone else—and very little time checking in with yourself?

Whether you’re a burned-out teen trying to hold it all together, a parent feeling triggered and disconnected, or someone carrying the quiet weight of grief, you’re not alone. I offer virtual counseling for teens, young adults, parents, and those navigating grief who are ready to stop merely surviving and begin feeling more present, grounded, and connected. Therapy with me is a space to slow down, explore what’s beneath the surface, and learn to care for yourself with the same compassion you so often give to others.

For clients who desire it, I’m also happy to incorporate faith and spiritual values into our work together — creating space for healing that honors both your emotional and spiritual well-being.

If that sounds like what you need, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Check out my services page for more information.
