Great to meet you!

I am Sam Vaccaro, Integrative Therapist from the Berkshires. I am passionate about helping women reach their mental health and wellness goals. You are a whole person & your care should include all parts of you. Many mental health treatments focus on the mind or emotional health. My approach focuses on emotional, physical, spiritual, social health & more.

My approach to therapy

I use an integrative approach and love alternative healing. I believe that knowledge is power and the main focus in my approach is providing you with education and tools to assist you in mental health goals. Stress and mental health challenges affect all areas of your life including emotional, physical, social and spiritual and therefore, your care should include each of these areas.

Stress Management

Women's Healing / Trauma healing

Health & wellness

Depression, anxiety, PTSD and more.

What you can expect from me

I am a somatic therapist and include your awareness of your body into our practice. This is done at your comfortability and through simple somatic exercises such as breath work, small movements, stretching. Stress or anxious thoughts often lead to stomach upset, heart racing, tension in shoulders.

Depression can lead to physical exhaustion, aching joints.

I ask you to consider these connections in our sessions.

If this isn't for you, thats okay! Additional methods I use include CBT, MI, DBT,
