More about Samantha

  • 5 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I specialize in working with children and adolescents, using developmentally appropriate treatment methods. I have multiple years of experience working with individuals and families dealing with a variety of life issues including trauma, foster care/adoption, anger management, anxiety, self-esteem, and other behavioral issues. I provide parents with evidence-based parenting strategies to promote the parent-child attachment and healthy development of the child.

I am trained in several models including Child Centered Play Therapy, Theraplay, Parent Child Relationship Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Modular Approach to Therapy for Children with Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, or Conduct (MATCH) and Conscious Discipline. I offer individualized treatment plans to best meet the needs of your child and family.

Being a parent can be difficult. When you have a child facing challenges that impact their daily functioning, you may begin to feel overwhelmed or at a loss for how to help them. You and your child do not have to be alone. I provide support to parents and provide a safe place for children to express themselves. Call me today for a free phone consultation.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
