Samantha Edwards

Hello, I’m Sam. I grew up all over Oregon and currently call Portland home. I began my career working closely with youth in residential and specialized school environments and now serve families at OHSU Doernbecher’s NICH program, helping them manage the realities of complex pediatric medical needs. In my private practice, I maintain a small, intentional caseload to provide deeply personalized care for clients seeking thoughtful support and lasting change. I’m passionate about creating a space where people feel comfortable, understood, and free to be fully themselves. Outside of work, I love spending time with my wife and our lively crew of fur babies, Yarrow, Juniper, Jasper, Quincy, and Jaxon. In my spare time, you'll find me on the river.

I provide individualized care and draw from a range of clinical approaches, tailoring therapy to each client’s unique needs and experiences.

My priority is getting to know you — your experiences, your needs, and the kind of support you’re looking for. From there, we’ll work collaboratively to identify meaningful goals and create a thoughtful path forward that feels supportive, clear, and aligned with what matters most to you.
