About me
I am a trained systemic therapist who see couples as part of a system meaning two people working together as a team. The system fails to function as intended when one or both individuals fail to be team players. As a systemic therapist I focus on the WHY and HOW in order to gain insight to help couples identify their strengths and weaknesses. Taking a closer look at the system, understanding the context, interactions of the couple and what worked in the past are the ingredients for building the team spirit that makes marriages work. If you are able to figure out the WHY and HOW, you will gain insight and together we can explore solutions to activate a mutually fulfilling relationship for both.
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of Florida. I have been practicing for the past ten years working with individuals and families in the tri-state area. My approach to therapy is to provide a safe, non-judgmental, non-accusatory environment conducive for growth. I help couple identify and utilize their strengths to navigate life together as a cohesive team. My personal goal for my clients is that even if we are unable to find solutions to what brought you to therapy, you can leave therapy with renewed sense of self and more empowered than when you started.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Mariama Samateh. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
She's objective and offers valuable advice.
Mariama has been counselling us for over 2 months now and we have gotten many working advices on a day to day basis from her. Full-heartedly recommending anyone with relationship / parenting issues.
We really liked working with her and felt heard during our experience.
A nice pleasant individual with a very understanding approach to my/our problems.
She explained things well, and did not leave a topic until she was sure that everything was understood.
I'm very grateful for Mariama's help and support though my relationship troubles. She has been able to help me articulate how I have been feeling and to help me to set goals and objects for myself to grow into a better person.
Mariama has a very calm and reassuring manner… and always manages to point out a different perspective than the one we’re coming from.
She's saved our marriage through her practical advice, sense of humour, impartial and empathetic listening skills and building on the fundamentals.
I really appreciate Mariama's methods. I feel secure and welcomed to be myself. She is very helpful and open during the sessions and gives good work sheets for homework.
Mariama is a great counselor. She is relatable and understanding. She holds you accountable to your own goals while giving you a practical approach to resolving your issues. Working with her has made my partner and I a better couple.
We found Mariama to be a very compassionate and insightful therapist, helping us to see our issues much more clearly and finding productive strategies to work through them.
