Samantha Butler

I am a NY state licensed clinical mental health counselor with diagnostic privilege. Prior to my counseling career, I worked in occupational therapy with children and adults which has provided me with broader insight into how our physical and mental health impact daily functioning. Additionally, I am a certified youth mental health specialist and have experience working with at-risk youth and families. I specialize in anxiety, including social anxiety and school refusal, trauma and loss, identity, and stress management. I welcome all individuals from 13 and above,

I offer a space that is warm, steady, and judgment-free, where you can show up exactly as you are. We'll move gently and at a pace that feels right for you. I believe healing begins when we feel safe enough to be real, truly heard, and supported in reconnecting with ourselves.

Our first session will focus on sharing your present concerns, getting to know each other, and defining your goals. If appropriate, I may incorporate breathwork, meditation or a mindfulness practice catered to your specific needs. Many clients share that they leave the first session feeling a little lighter, more grounded, and more at home within themselves.
