Sam Thompson

My day job is providing social work support in a hospital, and I have spent many years helping people navigate complex health and life challenges. Before the hospital, I worked in nursing homes, which gave me extensive experience supporting older adults and their families. I understand the realities of healthcare, substance use, and caregiving, and I strive to be a warm, nonjudgmental presence for everyone I meet. I hope you feel welcomed, heard, and treated with deep compassion.

I practice through a trauma focused lens and aim to honor the experiences that shaped you. I work especially well with fellow healthcare providers and people who are navigating substance use or misuse. I see myself as a compassionate witness to your struggles and your strengths, walking alongside you as you make changes at a pace that feels safe.

In our first session, my goal is to get to know you, from your own perspective. I will ask about what brings you to therapy, what has and has not helped before, and how you learn and process best. Together, we will start to lay the groundwork for meaningful, lasting change so you can move toward a life that feels more manageable and fulfilling.
