Hi, my name is Melissa Barsotti, and I am the owner and primary therapist at Mindful Therapy Practice. 

I am a practicing clinician in San Diego, California, and a certified EMDR trauma therapist, specializing in complex PTSD, dissociation, addiction, depression, anxiety, and OCD. I am an avid consumer of all things mental health. I especially make best efforts to keep up with research and content on complex PTSD and trauma responses and experiences, such as dissociation.  The experience of OCD is also very dear to my heart, as I find myself on the OCD spectrum and realize that there is not enough accessible education and content on the various manifestations and subtypes of OCD.

 

My mission is to increase awareness of specific mental health issues, as well as provide accessible resources to my clients and the public at large. To aid others in their own wellness and healing journey, I particularly enjoy providing book recommendations to others. The recommended books on Mindfulness Therapy Resource Page are hand-selected by me.

 

If you are an author, please consider collaborating with me to read and provide an honest review of your book. Please read my latest review of Dr. Jamie Marich’s book Dissociation Made Simple: A Stigma-Free Guide to Embracing Your Dissociative Mind and Navigating Daily Life.

 

Authors of works published in the last five years are especially encouraged to contact me via:  melissa@mindfultherapypractice.com. 

​

Looking forward to collaborating with you and increasing access to important mental health knowledge and tools.

 

With Gratitude and appreciation,
Melissa
