Getting to know Melanie Dalton

UpLift Behavioral Health providers do not issue prescriptions for substances controlled by any federal or state agency or other drugs that may be harmful because of their potential for abuse. UpLift Behavioral Health reserves the right to limit the types of medications that may be prescribed by its doctors and nurse practitioners. All prescriptions furnished by UpLift Behavioral Health care providers are issued in accordance with applicable federal and state law as well as UpLift Behavioral Health policy. Hi! Let me share a little bit about myself, my education, professional background, and experiences. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Sociology from the University of Richmond, then obtained a Master's in Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University. After graduating with my Master's, I started working in the area of adoption and attachment. Then, I worked with adolescents and families for 8 years, many of whom had histories of trauma and abuse. Following that work, I decided to entirely switch my focus and worked in health care for 8 years in a variety of roles. Once the pandemic hit, I decided to get back to my "roots" and start seeing clients for therapy services again-and I have never been happier professionally!
