Melissa Fairchild

Therapist

LCSW

Female

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 28 years of experience. As a therapist with the Dallas VA for 26+ years, I worked with veterans struggling with addiction and other mental health issues, such as trauma, anxiety, and depression. Trauma was primarily related to physical, emotional and/or sexual abuse as a child, military sexual trauma (both men and women), or combat. I take a holistic approach that is focused on your needs. My goal is to move you from surviving to thriving, not just managing symptoms. I know that with support and guidance, you can develop and maintain a life that you enjoy fully. I take an eclectic approach that addresses the various aspects of the healing process, thereby empowering you to discover and reach your full potential instead of living a life stuck and struggling to get by. .

How do we select providers listed on PsychHub.com?

The care options presented consist of treatment providers that we have assessed to be quality providers across a range of services for mental health, substance use, relationships, and other well-being needs. We aim to include only high quality providers and multiple viable options for those seeking care.

Do participating providers pay us?

To make our site free for consumers, providers on Psych Hub pay fees to connect with potential clients who are a fit for their services. Some also purchase Psych Hub's educational content for practitioner training and client support. These fees enable us to operate our service, including screening and updating information on each provider.

How do we determine which ones to display?

Rather than make specific provider recommendations, we present options and information so you can make an informed decision on what provider best fits your needs. Where we have multiple participating providers, we present multiple options (and where we don't, we prioritize adding more options to our site over time). We present providers whose capabilities, insurance coverage, availability and other attributes best match your stated needs. If many providers appear to equally meet your needs, we display a selection of them at random. Our decision on which participating providers to display is never impacted by the amount of fees we receive from them.

What is the relationship between Psych Hub and these providers?

The providers listed on our site are all independent entities from Psych Hub. We have a contractual relationship with each provider that governs the terms of their participation on the site, and in some cases, as mentioned above, their use of Psych Hub's educational content. There is no other affiliation between Psych Hub and the providers listed on our site.

What causes us to remove providers from our site?

We require that providers meet all licensing requirements of states where they offer services. If a provider loses their license, they are removed from our site for that state or service. We also seek feedback from users on providers they find on our site. We investigate significant negative feedback and remove providers if we conclude that to be appropriate.
