Melissa Altman

Behavioral Health Therapist
MS
Pennsylvania

As a behavioral health therapist working within the women’s continuum, Melissa Altman provides individual and group therapy and case management. She also communicates with patients’ families and referents. Her goal is to create a safe environment that enables patients to be open and agreeable to change.

Melissa elicits that behavioral change by addressing maladaptive thought patterns and behaviors. Once her patients recognize those patterns, Melissa can work with them to identify and understand their own capability to reclaim their lives and move into a healthy recovery.

She has worked as a behavioral health therapist at Caron since the beginning of 2023. She came to Caron as an intern in 2022 and worked in the Young Adults Program until she got her master’s degree. She then took a position in the Student Assistance Program, providing prevention education programs in schools for several months.

Melissa has a Master of Science in addiction counseling from Drexel University, Philadelphia, and a Bachelor of Arts in criminal justice and sociology from Arcadia University, Glenside, Pennsylvania.
