Hello, I'm Melba Holloway.
With nearly 20 years as a therapist and school counselor, I've had a front-row seat to some of life's most overwhelming moments—and some of its most triumphant ones. I work with high school students, college students, couples, families, and individuals who are tired of just getting by and ready to do something about it.
My approach is warm, direct, and a little bit human. I bring humor into the room because healing doesn't have to be heavy every single minute. I'll honor your faith, your culture, and your story—and I'll never make you feel like you have to explain yourself to be understood. All are welcome here!.
I hold a Master's in School Counseling and an Educational Specialist Degree, and I'm licensed in Alabama with telehealth services available in Florida. In 2023, I founded Mended Hearts Counseling, LLC — because mending things is what I love most.

"She's compassionate, understanding, and has a way of getting to the root of things without making you feel judged. She helped me look at my life differently — to understand what's happened, how I've handled things, and how to move forward. Because of that, I'm probably the happiest I've ever been. She gave me the tools to understand myself better."

"I was expecting therapy to be like the movies — a dark room, a couch, a stressed-out me talking to a therapist of not so many words. My very first session with Melba swayed my thinking. I left feeling heard. She's educated me on psychology, helped me pinpoint areas to improve, and given me real direction. My business has grown, my relationships have improved, and I'm mentally and emotionally stable. 'Current me' owes a lot of my success to MY therapist."
