Gwendolyn Melton

Hello, my name is Gwendolyn Melton and I like to be called Gwen. I am a clinician that listens to support my clients and I love watching clients meet their desired goals. I am a Master Level Clinician (LMSW-C) and a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC) in the state of Michigan. I have over eight years of experience in behavioral health and more than two decades of experience in the healthcare field as a nurse. My diverse clinical background allows me to bring a compassionate and holistic perspective to the individuals I serve.

I strive to create an environment where my clients feel safe, heard, supported and respected, while giving them a nonjudgmental platform to work through their concerns. I work collaboratively with individuals to explore life challenges, build insight, and develop skills that support their emotional well-being and personal growth. I utilize evidence-based treatment approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skill building, mindfulness practices, and life skills development,

During our first session I will be asking many questions about you that include many areas of your life. This includes present concerns along with future desired goals, I desire to learn about your strengths, supports, skills and talents. By the end of this session we will have created our blueprint to work from so I can be of assistance in creating empowerment, gaining insight, and moving toward meaningful change to meet your goals.
