Melissa Alton

Biography

Hello, I’m Melissa. My path to becoming a therapist was paved by my deep belief in the human capacity for transformation. I understand that for many, life has felt like a constant balancing act—especially for those who grew up "walking on eggshells." I offer more than just a clinical conversation; I provide a dynamic, safe, and insight-driven space where I help you tackle the root causes of trauma and addiction. I believe that healing isn't just a possibility; it is a path I build alongside you through evidence-based strategies and genuine connection. With a background that spans mental health, family systems, and addiction recovery, I bring a unique multidisciplinary lens to our work. I am dually licensed as an LMHC and LMFT to address both your individual and relational challenges, and as a Master’s Level Certified Addiction Professional (MCAP), I specialize in recovery and relapse prevention. I am also nationally recognized for excellence in clinical mental health counseling as an NCC and CCMHC. I choose to move past the traditional, detached therapist-client dynamic to look at how your past influences your present, help you identify the survival skills that no longer serve you, and work with you to replace them with lasting resilience. Whether we meet in person in Florida or via a secure virtual platform, my goal is to help you reclaim your narrative and thrive.
