Samantha Vamosy

Hello! My name is Samantha Vamosy and I am so happy you are interested in working together. I know starting a therapy process whether you have before or this is your first time can be scary and uncomfortable. I hope we can work through this time together making this journey as helpful and special as possible. My passions have always aligned with helping others and listening in a compassionate, non-judgmental, and curious way. I find real change occurs when a person can fully explore their life in a holistic way. Whether it is current mental health symptoms or past traumas holistic healing is possible for everyone. I received my Master's in Mental Health Counseling at Fairfield University and achieved my LPC after completing 3000 hours in an outpatient clinic for substance abuse.

My biggest strengths are being a genuinely caring, empathetic, nonjudgmental listener who actively wants to help you achieve your goals. I have a background in working with people who struggle with substance abuse and poor coping skills. I have worked with a diverse group of individuals including those of different backgrounds, experiences, and cultures. I have experience working with the LGBTQIA+ community as well. I strive to give every individual the individualized treatment they deserve recognizing that everyone's journey and needs are different. I pride myself on being able to work at the pace of the client and offer support and guidance when needed.

Sessions will begin with us working towards getting to know each other and exploring what brought you to therapy to be able to understand better what goals to begin with and how to break these down into small attainable goals.
