About

Hello my name is Melinda Gladden and I am a licensed bilingual clinical social worker. I have been in the field for over 5 years working with adults, children, families, and adolescents providing individual, group, and family therapy. My practice specialties are working with parents, behavior modification techniques, social skills training, intellectual disabilities, anxiety, depression, and trauma focused. I utilize evidence based models such as Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, MATCH, Social Thinking, Seeking Safety, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Circle of Security, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I like to think that my approach is empathetic, person centered, and collaborative. Therapy is a powerful tool and the first step in the healing process. I hope to work with you to develop the necessary coping skills, come to the realization of one's choices, and to be an active listener for you. I look forward to working beside you on your journey to healing.
