Samantha Severin

Hello! I’m Samantha Severin, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I’ve been working with individuals and families for over 10 years, and over time my practice has become especially focused on trauma, attachment, and foster and adoptive families. I use EMDR and attachment-based approaches to help people better understand what they’re carrying, feel more connected in their relationships, and experience real healing. As a foster parent myself, this work is also close to my heart. And for clients who want it, I’m always happy to make space for Christian faith as part of the process.

I tend to be warm, conversational, and pretty down-to-earth in the therapy room. I want you to feel like you can show up as you are, while also knowing we’re working toward something meaningful together. I specialize in trauma and attachment and use EMDR and attachment-based approaches to help clients understand not just what they’re feeling, but where it comes from and how to begin changing it. I especially love working with parents, caregivers, and foster and adoptive families, and I’m always mindful of the real-life relationships and circumstances surrounding the person in front of me.

The first session is really a chance for us to get to know each other. I’ll ask about what’s bringing you in, what life looks like right now, and what you’re hoping might feel different through therapy. There’s no pressure to cover everything right away—we’ll start with what feels most important to you and go from there. We’ll take our time, talk about what might be most helpful for you, and begin figuring out what our work together could look like.
