Somaya Mellouli

I’m Somaya Mellouli, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a decade of experience in helping individuals of all ages navigate life’s challenges. I earned my Master's Degree in Clinical Social Work and dual Bachelors of Science degrees in Psychology and Social Work from the University of Central Florida. I believe the power of therapy is to foster healing and growth, and my approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and collaboration. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or life transitions, my goal is to help you navigate these challenges with greater ease and resilience.

Creating a safe and supportive environment where you feel heard and valued is at the core of my practice. I am passionate about working with children, teens, adults, and seniors, and I strive to ensure that every person who walks through my door feels understood and accepted. My approach is inherently goal-oriented and rooted in the belief that every individual has unique strengths and potential for growth.

My therapy style integrates strength-based methods with evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). These approaches are designed to empower you, build resilience, and facilitate meaningful change. As a certified Trauma Professional, I also offer specialized support for those affected by trauma, and my experience with Play Therapy provides a unique and effective way to engage with younger clients.

Clients can find personal growth through engagement in developing new coping skills and setting realistic goals. Ultimately it is important that the clients leave the session feel validated, accepted, understood and motivated.
