Holistic Counseling Center LLC

"I found Dr. Samartano in 2012. I had been experiencing extreme anxiety and panic episodes and wanted to get some help without taking medication. From my first phone call to today, just about 8 years later, Dr. Samartano has been the best support and doctor I could have ever asked for. With her talk therapy, and her yoga classes she offers, she has guided me with the tools I needed to understand and manage my anxiety and panic. I have been free of panic and my anxiety is a minimum. She has helped me to be able to live a happy life for both me and my two girls. I couldn’t have done this well anywhere else. Dr. Samartano and her practice is the best. I am very thankful and highly recommend holistic counseling for anyone in need. Thank you Donna"

"Over the last six months, Dr. Melissa Samartano has helped me more than the many therapists I've gone through over the past decade combined. She actually listens. She is easy to talk to and she's very knowledgeable about various approaches to mental and physical health. She is very perceptive. And she just has a way of making you feel good about the work you're doing to improve yourself. I love her holistic approach. She is supportive of me in my goal of managing my anxiety without medication whereas others have told me that I'll probably have to take medication for the rest of my life. The teletherapy platform that she offers (like FaceTime or Skype) is so convenient."

"I have had a wonderful experience with Melissa, both during her wonderful yoga sessions and also in my sessions for counseling. She is both professional and very soothing. You can trust her fully. I highly recommend her for anything relating to holistics or any other areas that you need to talk about."

"Dr. Samartano is a kind, caring and dedicated counselor. When I first met her, I connected with her immediately. She has done so much to support me and guide me along my path to a healthier and happier life. She has a positive style that is infectious and I always come away from our meetings feeling uplifted. In our work together, I have learned so many practical strategies that have really worked to help me improve my health, my emotional balance, my relationships and the everyday challenges that I’ve faced. I feel very lucky to have her as my counselor!"

"I have used Holistic Counseling for couples therapy as well as individual. Melissa responded immediately to my phone calls, which is more than I can say for other agencies. Which is why I chose her. I love her mission of treating people holistically and have had a wonderful experience thus far. Highly recommend!"
