Samantha Hardy

I work with adults and teens who are navigating anxiety, depression, and life transitions—basically, all the stuff no one really prepares you for. Therapy with me is a space where you can be honest, figure things out at your own pace, and not feel judged or “analyzed.” Just real conversations that actually help. Let's be honest, Adult-ing is hard and Adolescence isn't a walk in the park either! I work with clients experiencing a mix of pressures - academic stress, changing relationships, career confusion, questions about identity, purpose and uncertainty about the future. If you are struggling with any of these life challenges, you don't have to figure them out alone. I'm here to listen and walk along side you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over eight years of experience working with clients of various backgrounds to overcome their anxious thoughts and deep sadness. I use a Person-Centered approach to grow a genuine and trusting relationship and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to put a stop to the automatic thoughts and reactivity. We’ll work together to reduce the worries, build self-esteem and truly heal from past experiences so that you feel confident about your next steps.

In our first session, you can expect a warm, inviting and judgement-free space where I will get to know more about you and what brought you into therapy. I promise I won't ask you a million questions or pressure you to share more than you feel ready to. I want to hear your story when you're ready to tell it. With this time, we'll establish a therapeutic alliance that we'll build on in each session that follows. We'll discuss your goals and any questions you have about the therapeutic process and put a plan together that will help you build your confidence and find peace in your life.
