Mel Graham pairs deep clinical expertise with a heartfelt commitment to families. After earning dual bachelor’s degrees in Speech & Hearing Sciences and Psychology from Indiana University (2005) and a master’s in Applied Behavior Analysis with an autism concentration from Ball State University (2013), she became a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst in 2014 and a Licensed Behavior Analyst in 2021. Over the past 13 years, Mel has applied evidence-based ABA principles across home, school, clinic, community, and residential settings—supporting individuals from 18 months to 20 years old. From therapist to Executive Director, Mel helped launch and grow ABA services in underserved communities throughout Indiana and Texas, always focusing on practical strategies that meet families where they live, learn, and play. Alongside trusted mentors, she learned the art of building strong teams, investing in the right resources, and ensuring care is both effective and compassionate.
Why Together We Grow?
Becoming a mom in 2019 inspired Mel to create a practice that lets families—and clinicians—thrive close to home. She assembled a network of psychologists and diagnostic specialists to provide comprehensive evaluations and, ultimately, founded Together We Grow. Her mission is simple: equip parents with real-world knowledge, practical tools, and renewed confidence so no one faces behavioral challenges alone and every family grows closer together.
