Samantha Motto

I'm a therapist who specializes in trauma. I'm familiar with symptoms of anxiety and depression both in clinical practice and from my own lived experience. I am a queer, neurodivergent therapist who specializes in PTSD, LGBTQ+ issues, and empowering women. I want to give my clients the vocabulary to put their feelings to words and heal old wounds. I like to focus on problem-solving and teaching coping skills to address the daily discomfort you feel. I graduated with honors from a Master's Clinical Mental Health Counseling program and have 5 years of clinical experience.

I find that validation, positive regard, and empathy are some of the best medicines! I was trained in CBT, ACT, Crisis Intervention and Strength Based techniques. I incorporate all of these modalities in my practice in addition to providing medication referrals on request.

I teach new skills to try in between sessions in addition to writing prompts that may help you dig deeper before your next session. I want all my clients to walk away feeling heard and understood.
