Melinda Halford

I am a licensed mental health professional with over a decade of experience dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges. Holding a Master's degree in Professional Counseling from Liberty University and a Bachelor's in Psychology from Montreat College, I have been actively practicing since 2013. My career began with five years of service at Biltmore Church in North Carolina, followed by four years in private practice before relocating to Myrtle Beach in 2021. I specialize in addressing anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relational issues, integrating Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy with a Christian worldview to foster personal growth and resilience. My practice emphasizes empathy, faith, and evidence-based strategies to support clients in achieving meaningful change.

With licenses in both North and South Carolina, I offer flexible session options, including in-person and telehealth appointments, to accommodate diverse needs. My commitment to compassionate care is rooted in the belief that healing is possible through perseverance and professional guidance. I prioritize creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their concerns and develop practical solutions. My approach combines clinical expertise with a deep understanding of the emotional and spiritual dimensions of mental health. By focusing on individualized care, I aim to empower clients to overcome obstacles and build fulfilling lives. My practice stands as a testament to the transformative power of dedicated therapeutic support.
