Mariama Samateh

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist(LMFT) and a certified Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapist with eleven years experience working with children, families, couples and adults in Florida.

My approach to therapy is to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment conducive for self-discovery and growth. I encourage an atmosphere of honesty, compassion and accountability. I help clients identify and utilize their strengths to occupy the driver's seat in their own lives. My personal goal for my clients is that even if we are unsuccessful in finding solutions to your issues, you can leave therapy with renewed sense of self and more empowered than when you started.

I am a trained systemic therapist who see individuals as part of a system. Your current problems may have a lot to do with your past. Trauma, stress and conflicts don't happen in a vacuum they happen within the framework of systems. A closer look at the system can help us understand context and identify patterns crucial in gaining self- awareness and growth.
