My name is Dr. Jennifer Vane Melrose and I am a licensed psychologist located in Austin, Texas. Trained as a doctoral-level counseling psychologist, my treatment specializations include working with adolescent and adult populations.

In my view, therapy can play a meaningful role in growing our selves, improving our relationships, and greatly enhancing our overall well-being. I provide a warm, supportive, and open relationship in which clients learn to accentuate strengths and discover important areas for growth. My belief is that by understanding unique relationships between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, we can interrupt destructive relationship patterns, enhance our emotional well-being, and live fuller, happier lives.

Using this approach, I have helped numerous clients:  

• Work through and manage symptoms (such as depression, anxiety, stress, eating issues) which prevent fuller, more productive living
• Cope with difficult life transitions (e.g. college transitioning, new  marriages, new parents, divorce/separation)
• Enhance academic and professional productivity

Some quick facts about my practice which may be helpful to you:

• I offer daytime and evening appointments
• I am located near the intersection of 45th Street and Medical Parkway/Burnet Rd.
• I am an in-network provider with Bluecross Blueshield of Texas, Beechstreet, and am in the process of joining additional insurance panels.
• I offer special reduced rates for college and graduate students whom express financial need and provide student identification.

Because a good therapist/client “fit” is essential to successful therapy, I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation for us to interview one another and determine if my practice is appropriate for your needs. I look forward to hearing from you.
