More about Samantha

- LCSW
I am passionate about helping teens and young adults navigate life's challenges with confidence, resilience, and self-compassion. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based approaches tailored to each client's unique needs, I support individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, trauma, stress, life transitions, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, self-harming behaviors, and aggressive behaviors. I also provide LGBTQ+ affirming care in a warm, inclusive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard and supported.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
