Dr. Samartano's bio
This content was provided by Dr. Samartano "Melissa received her Ph.D. in Holistic Counseling from the University of Sedona in 2013. She brings a creative approach to healing the mind, body, and spirit by incorporating different holistic modalities into the therapeutic counseling process. Melissa also received her Master's Degree in Clinical Counseling Psychology in 1997 from Lesley University. She has been practicing as a licensed psychotherapist for over 20 years. Melissa is also a Certified Yoga Teacher and received her CYT training from Maha Yoga Center in Bridgewater, MA in 2017. She offers ongoing Hatha yoga classes at her practice as well as an 8 week Mindfulness Program. She has a group practice with 8 licensed clinicians working for her in the Raynham, MA office. Her holistic approach to healing started while she was practicing meditation at a Holistic Meditation Center in Burlington, VT. She also attended Thic Nhat Hanh's retreat on Mindfulness Meditation in 1998 at the University of Vermont, on the full awareness of breath. Her practice in prayer and meditation led her to work for Catholic Charities in an outpatient clinic working with adults who suffered from an array of disorders, primarily post-traumatic stress disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and depression. Melissa has extensive experience working with children and adolescents, both home-based and outpatient. She utilizes the same holistic approach with more emphasis on their ability to use play therapy, art therapy, and gentle yoga techniques to enhance their internal and external expression of feelings. This process helps create overall peace of mind, understanding and balance to your life. Melissa specializes in treating clients who have trauma and PTSD, child or adolescent issues, spirituality, relationship issues, marital issues, depression, anxiety or fears, ADHD, divorce, domestic abuse or violence, loss or grief, OCD, parenting and dissociative disorders"
