Getting to know Melissa Sadikoff

Hi there, I'm Melissa! I am Melissa Sadikoff, a licensed clinical social worker with a Master's in Social Work from San Diego State University. I have over 27 years of experience working with individuals, couples, children, families, and groups. Through therapy, I have learned a great deal about myself and opportunities for personal growth. Having witnessed the transformation of my family members, myself, and many clients over the years, I am very passionate about therapy and firmly believe it can make a difference if you are committed and willing to put in the time and work. I look forward to helping you along this journey. My approach I use an eclectic approach to therapy because "one size does not fit all." I draw from a variety of theoretical approaches when working with clients, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), trauma-focused therapy, grief therapy, mindfulness, client-centered therapy, family systems therapy, and problem-solving therapy. My focus If you find yourself struggling with coping, outlook, motivation, attitude, or focus, we may be a good fit. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, and adjustment to major life changes?whether related to career/work, interpersonal/peer/partner relationships, family, or the death of someone special. I also specialize in supporting clients diagnosed with chronic and life-limiting illnesses, such as cancer, and their family members. My goal is to help navigate the many emotions that come with these diagnoses and ensure they do not define who you are or dictate how you engage in and live life. My communication style I create a warm, welcoming, and safe environment for all my clients. This is your time, and I want it to be productive and feel well spent. I will be as active or passive as you want or need me to be in our sessions.
