Samantha Castellano

Welcome! I'm Samantha, owner of Creative Purpose Counseling & Art Therapy in Caldwell, NJ. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Professional Art Therapist (LPAT). My passion is helping people find their voice, increase self-esteem and create the life they wish to lead. This may mean exploring relationships, getting a handle on emotions, or having a safe outlet to process trauma.

*My availability is currently limited, but I'll have many more slots within the next few weeks!

I primarily utilize a person-centered approach to therapy, with lots of active listening, empathy and validation. I also integrate art and creativity, mindfulness and acceptance based strategies to create a personalized approach for each individual I am working with.

I strive to create a safe space for you to come as you are in the present moment, heal from past experiences, dispute negative core-beliefs and silence your inner critic. We can also brainstorm ideas, problem solve, and learn skills to create a life worth living. Regardless of what is bringing you to therapy, I am glad you're here and ready to help!
