Samantha Kroener

I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist, as well as a Registered Yoga Teacher, and Recovery Coach. I specializes in working with individuals who are motivated for change and need the right support, structure, and strategies to move forward. With over 15 years of experience in human services, I brings both depth of knowledge and a practical, down-to-earth approach to my work. I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), an evidence-based approach that helps people build skills to manage emotions, improve focus, tolerate stress, and create meaningful, sustainable change.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, goal-oriented, and practical. I work with clients who feel stuck despite wanting meaningful change, helping them understand what’s getting in the way and how to move forward.

I draw from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach concrete skills for managing emotions, improving focus, and handling stress more effectively. My goal is to provide tools you can apply in your everyday life—not just talk about challenges.

In your first session, you can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental space where we begin to understand what’s bringing you in and what you’d like to change or achieve. We’ll talk about your current challenges, any goals you have, and what may be getting in the way of making consistent progress.

I’ll also ask questions to get a fuller picture of your experiences, including factors like stress, life circumstances, and support systems. From there, we’ll start identifying initial goals and discuss practical next steps that feel realistic for you.

You can expect to leave the first session with a clearer sense of direction and an idea of how we’ll work together moving forward.
