Call (754) 225-9819I am Najla Sallum, a licensed clinical social worker, and I keep a small caseload so people in Ocean Ridge are never a number to me. Expect me to be direct and warm at once. I will tell you what I notice, and you can tell me when I have it wrong.
Some Ocean Ridge clients mix it: video most weeks, in person when something big needs the extra room. You will not have to simplify yourself for my benefit. Whichever of the three languages you think in is fine.
If someone in your family near Ocean Ridge has a case pending, an evaluation may carry more weight than you expect. I take clients from every corner of Palm Beach County, the heart of South Florida and the Miami–Fort Lauderdale–West Palm Beach area included, whether you drive down to Boca Raton or never leave Ocean Ridge. You have already done the hard part by reading this far. The next step is smaller than it looks.
