Samantha Acosta

Hello! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) based in Tennessee. I am also licensed in the states of UT and NE. I have been in practice for 15 years. I love working with clients who are genuinely seeking therapy for their own growth and awareness. I enjoy helping clients who want to take a deeper look at behaviors and relationships in their lives that could be modified and or improved. I started my career in community mental health working with individuals who were suffering from addiction, childhood trauma, family conflict, and faith crisis. I feel like I have learned the true impact addiction, poverty, trauma, and abuse can have on an individual and family system. This has helped me create space for clients to feel safe, heard, valued, and respected in our sessions. I look forward to meeting you!

I generally received feedback regarding my worm supportive nature while being direct and open to discussing topics that are difficult for clients. I have been trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and DBT.

In our first session together we will take a deep look at the challenges you have been facing and goals that you would like to achieve during this process.
