Melissa Susac Psychotherapy

About Me

I'm Melissa Susac, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Hollywood, California. I believe in the power of therapy to foster deeper self-understanding, healing, and growth. My approach to treatment is collaborative and compassionate, and I strive to create a safe and supportive space where clients can explore their concerns and achieve their therapeutic goals.

My Expertise

I have extensive experience working with individuals, couples, and families facing various challenges, including:

• Individual Psychotherapy: Adults and children struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, loss, life transitions, and personal growth.
• Parent-Infant Psychotherapy: Supporting mothers and infants in building a healthy and secure attachment.
• Groups and Workshops: Facilitating groups for parents of children with autism, developmental delays, and attachment difficulties.

My Approach to Therapy

I draw from psychodynamic and psychoanalytic theories, incorporating a neurodevelopmental perspective to understand the impact of early relationships on mental health. My clinical experience includes working in well-known clinics in the Los Angeles area, where I honed my skills in working with diverse populations.
