Somiya (Sam) Murtadi

I believe that my approach and personality create a safe environment for my clients to create lasting change. I have over 7 years experience in substance abuse and have worked with clients of all ages. I also specialize in trauma and working with teens. Other areas of experience include anxiety, self-esteem, and grief, to name a few. I am currently taking new clients and specialize in providing in home therapy via video therapy and phone therapy. You are also welcome to visit my site at www.acceptancecounselinggroup.org to learn more about me, teletherapy, and the services I offer.
My approach integrates CBT with person centered therapy, which I believe creates a trusting working relationship, the cornerstone of successful therapy. I think my judgement free approach allows others to have the ability to be open lending to positive results. I am also creative and resourceful and integrate other modalities based on my clients needs.
I am a recovering alcoholic who has been sober since 2011. I believe that this gives me a unique perspective on being a therapist. I work with adults and adolescence from varying backgrounds. I also have a creative background in the arts, which I incorporate allowing others to express themselves in a variety of ways promoting healing and success.
