Testimonials

Looking back to my early 20s, I’ve really grown so much and have found a great deal of strength. I highly recommend Sheila as a mental healthcare provider. Her holistic approach has helped me immensely through multiple job and life transitions. She has helped me feel empowered to tackle a challenging health condition, and has enabled a great deal of personal growth. She is warm and knowledgeable, and her multi-faceted treatment style with a balanced approach to medication and openness to complementary treatments show that she treats the patient, not the disorder.

Dr. S’s depth of understanding, breadth of knowledge, plethora of trainings is unparalleled. She invests one hundred percent in the therapeutic process and immerses herself in my journey of healing. She will do whatever it takes be it an intensive, several sessions a week, or daily check ins. Dr. S’s constancy and powerful ability to connect and display respect for the process at all times was humbling. She tailor makes and creates individual treatment protocols for each client according to their personal past, goals and needs. She does not believe that “one size fits all” and I believe this has been a big part of our success together. I do not respond to the typical modalities and Dr. S was able to creatively weave and develop a unique way of doing therapy together. With grit and hard work, and Dr S’ s expertise and magic, I do believe in healing and thriving after all. My gratitude knows no bounds.

Working with Dr. Salama was a life transforming experience. I started seeing the doctor when I was in a very vulnerable place. I was in tremendous emotional pain. My traumas were bleeding and I had no idea how to patch myself up. Dr. Salama took a wounded person and rehabilitated me back to a state of emotional health that I could only dream of before I met her. I loved that she never let me leave the session in a bad state. I never felt that I had to rush. She gave me her heart. She knows so many modalities that it felt safe to open up. I knew she will know how to stitch me up after a session. I’ve been to a few therapist before and while some were better than the others, not one of them had the tools she has. She changed the way I look at therapy. In my world, therapy meant a 45 minute session and then, no matter how you feel, you stop and leave. Dr. Salama gave me the time and the patience. She is highly intuitive and helped me figure out very complex situations. I’m not sure where I would be today had I not met this amazing clinician. She saved my life and brought me to the place I am right now. It’s been 5 years since I was healed and I still thank her in my mind every day for the functional and accomplished woman I became.

Dr. Salama is a kind and thoughtful person. She brings her years of experience, knowledge, and heart to her care for patients. It has been such a comfort to know that she understands the experience of being human at a deep level, and also that she is ever seeking new awareness and perspective. I have found her to be open minded, scientifically oriented, and spiritually grounded. It has been a blessing to receive her reflective care over the past many years.

My experience with Dr. Salama was life changing. I had seen many different therapists over the years with little to no success. After suffering through years of trauma, both in my childhood and adult years, I was depressed, anxious and unable to function. Dr. Salama utilized many different therapeutic modalities to peel off the layers of pain and helped me to become the happy, healthy and successful person that I am today. She is a wealth of knowledge and one of the kindest and most caring human beings I have ever encountered.

I had spent years in therapy and had acquired many skills including the ability to trust another human being, however, I was incredibly stuck. Everything and everywhere I went was connected to the trauma and interpreted within the context of everything I had learnt from my abusers. All that changed as I worked with Dr Salama. Her presence and style is unlike any other therapist I’d worked with before. She encouraged me to find the knowledge and power of healing I had within, while adding her own knowledge and understanding to help guide me through my journey. Everything I am today is thanks to the work we did together.

Dr. Salama has been a trusted resource for the last five years. She has shown great patience and has provided me with a number of tools and strategies to address the issues that I am working on. She is an excellent listener and communicator who consistently provides practical counsel that has been of immense help. I have grown personally and emotionally since seeing Dr. Salama. As a result, I am better able to manage both my personal and professional responsibilities. Dr. Salama is a rare therapist who goes above and beyond what is required to ensure that patients feel cared for and appropriately managed. I highly recommend her to anyone who is considering exploring their feelings and experiences more deeply.
