Youth and Family Therapist opens office in Wheaton

Parenting and having a family is difficult – sometimes more than difficult – and sometimes one needs support and guidance. Fortunately, a new service provider option is available in Wheaton. Melinda Alston, LCSW opens her child, adolescent and family therapy practice in Wheaton today.

Melinda Alston is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 25 years of experience. She has worked in out-patient therapy, as an administrator, trainer, in foster care, and in the schools.

“I believe that therapy happens within a relationship, that therapy is supportive, and that therapy can help bring about positive change,” Alston says. I do not have a program or modality that my clients fit into; my job is to fit my help to you.”

Raised in a family full of social workers and nurses, it can be said that social work is “in her blood.” Melinda Alston specializes in child, adolescent and family therapy, with expertise in mood disorders, anxiety, autism, ADHD, trauma, loss and family function.
