Getting to know Melissa Alton

Hi! My name is Melissa Alton, and I'm an experienced clinician with specializations in substance use and trauma. Through education and life experiences, I've developed a deeper understanding of counseling, feeling in my heart that God has given me these experiences for a reason. I truly would not wish these experiences on anyone, but I would not take them back either. They've given me a greater understanding of what people are experiencing and I'm able to use this knowledge to help. I employ a client-centered approach, grounded in empathy and open communication. I take the time to understand each client’s lived experiences and collaborate towards the desired goals. In addition to my clinical practice, I engage in continuous learning, publishing, and presenting.
