Do you feel as though you are alone in handling some of the challenges that life has put in front of you? Do you wonder if things in your life are ever going to change for the better? The answer to both of those questions can be "YES" with the support and guidance of an experienced and caring professional. I am that professional and I will walk with you on your journey to help you get life back on track. I have extensive experience in working with individuals (adult and adolescents), couples, and families on issues related to life transitions.

My practice is dedicated to help children, teens and adults acknowledge and heal from wounds - not the "Band Aid" ones, but the kind that leave an imprint on your heart and psyche. Trauma and grief can be overwhelming, and can emanate from many different sources (death, violence, abandonment, relationship issues). I also work with children and teens to develop the coping skills necessary to grow and mature, especially as they deal with grief, anxiety, violence, and school related stress. The 'trickle down effect' of these issues is devastating - affecting how children learn, their social relationships, and self image.

I work with clients who have histories of trauma varying in severity. This can look like trouble with regulating and making sense of emotions. In terms of diagnoses, I often work with clients with PTSD, depression, anxiety, manic episodes, and dissociation. My clients want to regain their sense of agency. My clients become more aware of the connection between current behavioral tendencies and pivotal events from their past. My clients become comfortable feeling uncomfortable exploring issues and experiencing the emotions that arise. My ideal clients understand that progress is dependent on dedication and consistency.

Therapy can serve as a safe, nurturing, and nonjudgmental space to work through challenges in your everyday life. As a 1.5 generation immigrant, I specialize in working with BIPOC folx, specifically Asian-Americans, young working professionals, and mothers in the pregnancy, prenatal and postpartum period. As a psychotherapist and music therapist, my approach is warm, supportive, and caring. I practice from an attachment-based, psychodynamic, strength-based, and trauma-focused framework utilizing a combination of CBT, DBT, parts work, as well as EMDR, and will tailor my approach based on your needs and goals in therapy.

I have an approach that is strength based, person-centered, and motivational. I try to take an inquisitive approach to identify and help you overcome barriers with empowerment and encouragement. My goal is to create a nonjudgmental, brave space where clients feel safe to process and find compassion for the unhealed parts of themselves. While my most common treatment modalities are attachment based, existential, internal family systems, and motivational interviewing; I will incorporate treatments best fit for each individual. I respect that your journey with change over time and our sessions will always accommodate that.

Hello, I'm Samantha Powell, a licensed clinical social worker. My professional journey includes diverse experiences spanning developmental disabilities, child and adolescent psychology, as well as adult and geriatric clinical settings. I've worked in various environments, from inpatient psychiatric treatment homes to women's shelters, school-based therapy, and individual counseling. My expertise encompasses addressing anxious behaviors, grief, depression, self-harm, relationship issues, trauma, and a range of other challenges that may hinder individuals and families from realizing their fullest potential.

I work to support clients who are navigating a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, substance use, and life transitions. I utilize an integrative approach to clients, drawing on a variety of skills such as CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. I believe in client-focused therapy, where the therapist and client work collaboratively to establish goals and guide treatment.

I focus on working towards goals, having control over strong feelings, recognizing triggers and properly dealing with them, improving confidence, revisiting the past and heal from it, working on altering destructive behaviors, building relationship skills, and working towards rebuilding bonds with others. I hope people can forgive or accept themselves as they are, be empowered to face and overcome their challenges in their lives with confidence, change their lives, and cultivate a more meaningful life through effective and collaborative counseling.

Something may be weighing heavy on your heart or your mind; or maybe you're just feeling stuck at the crossroads of life. Whatever it is, wherever you "are," I will meet you there. Let's take this journey together. With over 10 years of experience working in the mental health and addictions field, I've had the opportunity of guiding individuals, couples, and families on a path to optimal wellness. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor specializing in depression, anxiety, anger management, trauma, LGBQT, and the emotional, physical, and familial distress caused by addiction.

My ideal client is curious about themselves and the world and actively participates in the therapeutic process. I enjoy working with young adults and older adults, but I'm not limited to these populations. My ideal client is at a place of feeling "stuck" in their life. Whether that be a career transition, deciding on a college major, feeling lost in a relationship, or a new onset of symptoms. I am also comfortable with helping individuals unpack their past to understand their current habits. My ideal client wants to understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to develop self-awareness and self-compassion along the way.

Greetings! It is a fundamental part of the human condition to have hope and a purpose in our lives, work, & relationships. Too often, these dimensions of our existence go overlooked and untouched in favor of addressing mental-emotional well-being through the lens of a medical model which emphasizes pathology and the need to consult with an expert to solve our problems. I am here to encourage you in this: You can learn to be the expert in your own life! My role is to journey with you towards this realization, so that you can ultimately stand on this truth. To do this, we will work together to help you establish a central life Hope.

I work with families and individuals on various matters including substance use, impulse control, trauma, anxiety, depression, anger management, communication and relationship difficulties.
