Welcome! My name is Dr. Melina Cavazos, and I specialize in providing individual therapy to children, teens, and young adults with generalized anxiety, perfectionism, social anxiety, specific phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), body-focused repetitive behaviors (e.g., skin-picking, hair-pulling), and Tourette’s syndrome/tic disorders. I can also provide support for individuals who experience difficulties in relationships, life transitions, resistance/defiance, co-occurring depression, and trauma-informed care, when needed. I also provide parent training, when appropriate.

I have a range of experience in various settings, including community mental health clinics, schools, private practice clinics, and outpatient psychiatric clinics. I also have extensive experience providing psychological, psychoneurological, and psychoeducational assessment, as well as academic and behavioral interventions. I found my passion and further specialized in anxiety disorders during my postdoctoral fellowship.
