Samantha Bangs

I have worked as a therapist for about 10 years with a degree in Art Therapy from Albertus Magnus College in New Haven, CT. I have worked with all ages in various settings, but have been working full-time at an outpatient community agency in CT with children, adolescents, and young adults. I enjoy helping my clients find skills to work through stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as have a space to express themselves.

I see myself as a person-centered therapist and enjoy incorporating different types of skills and techniques based on the client's preferences and needs. I enjoy incorporating skills from CBT, mindfulness, gratitude, and other areas.

I spend the first session focusing on getting to know each other and giving you the space to become comfortable with me and what goals you want to work on. Therapy is a gradual process that takes comfort and understanding.
