Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Dr. Samoya Henry-Pierre-Louis, a licensed clinical social worker and therapist who is passionate about helping individuals heal and grow. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and families, particularly those navigating trauma, anxiety, and major life transitions. My approach is warm, supportive, and practical, while also being direct, honest, and goal-oriented. I use a Christ-centered lens in my work and welcome clients who value incorporating their faith into the healing process.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in working with children and young adults. I support clients dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges, and I also work with couples to strengthen and restore their relationships. My approach is warm, faith-based, and holistic. I go beyond traditional therapy by incorporating care coordination and practical support.

What you can expect from me

In your first session, you can expect a warm, welcoming, and judgment-free space where we begin getting to know you and what brought you to therapy. We will talk through your current concerns, any relevant background, and what you would like to see change or improve in your life.

I take a direct yet supportive approach, so I will help you start identifying goals and practical steps early on, while still moving at a pace that feels comfortable for you. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, supported, and hopeful about the work ahead.
