Hi, I’m Melissa Berman

I was born and raised in Los Angeles where I currently live and work along with my husband and two very active boys that keep me on my toes! My professional journey has taken me on the most fulfilling adventures and learning opportunities. Teaching and working with students on a daily basis is such a rewarding career. What I loved most about teaching was getting to know my students and their families personally. I saw year after year, that there were challenges and circumstances that stood in the way of students and families' ability to achieve their goals. What I saw inspired me to change my professional focus away from academics and towards social emotional support. After ten years in the classroom, I went back to school to earn my master’s in psychology and marriage and family therapy license. Working for LAUSD as a counselor and coordinator has been extremely gratifying as I have had the chance to work with hundreds of families, doing a wide spectrum of work. 

Take a moment and discover the services I offer. I am here to be part of you and your family’s journey to optimal social and emotional health. Consider me part of your mental health journey to get you and your family to a rewarding place of mindfulness and daily healthy functioning.
