About Samy Selim

Samy Selim is licensed in California and brings 12 years of professional experience to his therapeutic work. He holds an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - and has built a background in settings that include foster care, education, and investigations of elder and dependent abuse. Those early roles informed his approach and understanding of complex family dynamics and trauma.

He has supported people dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, family conflict and systems, and challenges tied to recovery. He is familiar with recovery modalities that contribute to overall wellbeing and integrates that knowledge when addressing addictions and related concerns. Additional areas of focus include communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia.

Samy strives to create an open and safe space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed without fear of judgment. He recognizes that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life requires courage, and he positions himself as a supportive partner in that process.
