Wayne Alston, MSW, LCSW
I am a licensed clinical social work (LCSW) with over 15 years of experience working in many therapeutic environments. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety , adjustment disorders, relationship issues, parenting challenges, defiant childhood behaviors, ADHD and LGBTQ issues. My style of therapy is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion. I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral, Humanistic, solution based, supportive and Multi-systemic Therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first step towards change. If you are ready to take that step. I am here to support and empower you.
