Hello! Hola! My name is Melissa Servin and I am a bicultural and bilingual (English/ Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Southern California (San Diego). I received my Masters from California State University San Marcos in 2018. I am here to assist you through your daily stressors, grief, depression, and/or anxiety. My clinical expertise is focused on depression, life stressors, grief, loss, and trauma. I make an effort to provide a safe environment for my patient to help them feel empowered and be able to share their experiences and challenges. Together, we can identify unhealthy thought patterns that will assist in developing better coping mechanisms to be able to foster a healing environment where growth is promoted.

First session

During the first session, an in-depth bio-psychosocial assessment will take place where I will invite you to open up and share your current challenges. We will discuss your overall goals and identify an individualized treatment plan. I aim to establish rapport and work collaboratively to build a trusting relationship with the overall goal of identifying goals and resilience to overcome your challenges.

Strengths

I take pride and take the time to treat each one of my patients with the dignity, respect, and compassion they deserve regardless of what challenges they are facing.

Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT is a common treatment method I use as it is beneficial for patients to identify how their thought patterns have an impact on their behaviors and emotions. One of the goals is to identify problem solving techniques to be able to overcome and challenge your maladaptive thought patterns.

Love having Melissa as my provider. Not only is she extremely easy to talk to, but she helps me see things in a better light and she helps give me the solutions I need on how to handle things better. I feel like she’s very attentive and knows the right questions to ask that help me dig deeper into explaining the problem so that I’m able to express everything I need to.

Melissa is the best therapist I have ever had. She has such a beautiful soul, and every time I talk to her, I feel truly heard, supported, and understood. She makes me feel like I’m talking to my best friend—the kind of friend who makes you feel safe, accepted, and never judged. She has helped me through some of the hardest moments in my life and has always believed in me, even when I struggled to believe in myself. Her kindness, compassion, and encouragement have made such a meaningful differe

The session went very well, and I really appreciated the way it was conducted. I hope to continue working with the same therapist, as she made me feel very comfortable and gave me a great sense of trust and confidence.
