About Melissa Satram LMFT
My name is Melissa Satram, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a diverse heritage from Trinidad. I hold a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Touro University and a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from the University of Phoenix.
I use a combination of structured and holistic approaches to meet the unique needs of my clients. My goal is to create a safe, warm, and supportive therapeutic environment that fosters growth, healing, and transformation. Together, we will work to address the past and build a path forward, providing you with the tools and skills needed to become the best version of yourself. I am here to walk alongside you on this journey.
My Specializations
I specialize in trauma and PTSD, and have experience working with a range of diagnoses, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, and more. My expertise extends to supporting foster teens, victims of community violence, survivors of sexual assault, abuse, domestic/intimate partner violence, human trafficking, as well as those affected by neglect and abandonment.
Using a trauma-informed care approach, I focus on treating trauma and PTSD through techniques such as exposure therapy. I work with clients to leverage their strengths and resources, helping them manage negative symptoms, build distress tolerance, and process unresolved emotions.
I also specialize in treating depression and anxiety, which can often stem from a variety of factors such as life transitions, social interactions, daily stressors, and challenges with work-life balance. My goal is to alleviate these symptoms and improve your overall quality of life by addressing the underlying issues and helping you achieve lasting emotional well-being.
My Goal
My goal is to equip you with the tools needed to heal, so you can confidently navigate the uncharted waters of life. Together, we’ll help you ride the waves and move forward on your path with strength. You’ll take control of your life, confront unresolved emotions and past traumas, and ultimately step into the role of captain of your own journey.
