Samantha Pope

Hi there! My name is Samantha Pope (she/her). I'm so glad you're here. I'm a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). I have spent the majority of my career working with the foster care youth population and have treated a wide range of mental, emotional, and behavioral health issues in children and adults. I have also worked with many people in the LGBTQIA+ community to address both mental health and environmental impacts. I often employ an eclectic approach to therapy, utilizing a variety of interventions so that I can find the right fit for each individual person. I believe you are the expert on your own life experiences, and that we can work together to address your concerns and help you grow.

I employ an eclectic approach to therapy, utilizing a variety of interventions so that I find the right fit for each individual person. Some of the interventions I use are cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectic-behavioral therapy (DBT), play therapy, art therapy, person-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TFCBT).

Our first session will focus on discussing your background, talking with you about your concerns, identifying your goals for treatment, and going over informed consent. I will have plenty of questions for you, and I'm happy to answer any questions you have for me as well.
