Samantha Sampson

I work with clients of all ages. I specialize in supporting kids, teens, and young adults (ages 9–25), including those in the LGBTQ+ community. I strive to create a space that feels safe, welcoming, and judgment-free because having the right support can truly make all the difference! I have worked with individuals navigating trauma, oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), depression, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, OCD, behavioral challenges, and more. In our sessions, we’ll explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to build insight, develop healthy coping strategies, and foster meaningful growth.

My therapeutic approach centers on creating a comfortable, down-to-earth environment, where clients feel free to express themselves as they are. My sessions are grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I focus on helping clients identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to support meaningful change.

I believe that building a strong, trusting relationship is the foundation of effective therapy. When feeling safe, supported, and understood, real healing and growth can begin! I aim to encourage building of skills for resilience, self-awareness, and emotional well-being, while creating a safe, nonjudgmental space for them to express and grow.
