About Melvin DuBard

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the states of South Carolina and Oregon. I am also a certified Global Career Development Facilitator (GCDF). My Educational Specialist (Ed.S.) degree is in Counselor Education from the University of South Carolina (Columbia) and my Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree is in Business Education from Winthrop University (Rock Hill).

I have over 10 years experience in the mental/behavioral health field and 20 years experience as an educator. I have worked with individuals and families with a wide range of concerns and from various backgrounds. I have found that I am most effective with those experiencing depression, anxiety, career challenges, and those who are generally seeking changes in their life to move towards a better future for themselves.

I strive to provide my clients with a welcoming, confidential, safe space where they can speak freely about their concerns and thoughts. I believe in treating everyone with respect and the “Golden Rule” is essential to me – treat others the way you want to be treated. My approach to counseling is client-centered and solution-focused with a cognitive-behavioral foundation. I try to help identify patterns of thought that may be keeping you from your goals and we will work together to develop a plan to address those thoughts. Ideally, I would like for my clients to learn how to identify these patterns of thought for themselves and be able to independently adjust to their circumstances as needed.

“Melvin is a fantastic therapist. I’ve been working with him on and off for several years at different points in my life. <br /> <br /> I started seeing him in my early 30s as a single male, and business owner, seeking to manage the world of life and business. <br /> <br /> And Melvin always approaches things with careful listening and provides different perspectives that I usually cannot see myself.<br /> <br /> It’s really refreshing leaving his sessions as it feels like I have a friend who’s always seeking out a way to help myself be my better self. Without ever making me feel beat up or bad. Instead he has a way of finding the right words and tone to help me see things in a new light that are often extremely helpful for my mental health and wellbeing. <br /> <br /> I tend to be my own worst enemy and Melvin helps guide me to getting out of my own way. Overall I couldn’t recommend Melvin enough. He is truly fantastic at what he does and I’m so lucky I was matched with him from day 1. Thank you Melvin!”
