I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from California University of Pennsylvania in 2020. Since then, I’ve worked with children and adults facing depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, and some substance use, also at a psychiatrist hospital and with youth in the juvenile system. I’m a first-generation Nigerian American and the creative “black sheep” of my family. I bring empathy, authenticity, and individuality into my therapy practice, helping clients heal and grow.
The decision to start therapy is a courageous one. I create an open and safe environment for you to embark on your therapeutic journey. In my practice I take a strength-based approach to help you learn and grow. I am interested in exploring who you are as an individual and helping you get where you want to be. Together I hope to build a respectful and collaborative therapeutic alliance.
I'm Sam — I work with teens and adults navigating some of life's harder chapters. I've had the chance to work with people carrying anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, relationship stress, and the kind of slow-burn exhaustion that builds when life isn't matching the life you imagined. What matters most to me is that you feel like yourself in the room (or on the screen) — not performing okayness, not bracing for judgment. I'm newer to the field, which means my training is current and evidence-based, and I bring genuine enthusiasm to this work rather than going through the motions. I offer a sliding scale for those who need it. Sessions are available virtually across South Carolina.
I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice with experience in supporting individuals and families through life's most challenging moments. My background includes case management, child and family services, and hospital-based social work within a Level I trauma center. I specialize in helping clients navigate crisis, trauma, and emotional distress with compassion, clarity, and evidence-based care.
l earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of South Carolina. My therapeutic approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally focused therapy to help clients build emotional awareness, strengthen coping skills, and foster healthy connections.
I graduated from Simmons School of Social Work with my MSW with a concentration on trauma treatment. I completed my internship at a community mental health center where I worked as a child trauma clinician. I then spent two years working in a child advocacy center where I was a child therapist and forensic interviewer. I am trained and certified in trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) and problematic sexual behavior cognitive behavioral therapy for children ages 7-12 (PSB-CBT).

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Spartanburg, SC
Searching for therapists in Spartanburg starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may want help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience match what you want to address. A therapist’s bio can also show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a smaller city like Spartanburg, local appointment options may vary by schedule, neighborhood, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your search beyond nearby offices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in South Carolina. As you narrow your options, consider whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist structures sessions and communicates with clients.
Therapy in Spartanburg can be a significant investment without insurance, so finding a therapist who accepts your plan matters. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you compare therapists who are accepting new clients, check your insurance, see an estimated cost before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person care when available. You can review therapist bios, confirm fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
