I am an experienced marriage and family therapist and maintain a speciality as a Certified Eating Disorders Specialist (CEDS). I worked for many years at major eating disorder facilities in the DFW area, providing education and support to individuals and families at various stages in the recovery journey. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore issues together with my clients. I see the role of therapist as a facilitator to join, collaborate, and achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes. I work from a systems perspective to address the individual as a whole.

My client population includes children, adolescents and adults. I work with individuals as well as families. I facilitate numerous groups and skills training curriculum in various topics including adolescent first offenders, anger management, divorce and separation, parenting, and teen issues.

My goal is to assist you in realizing the highest level of self-fulfillment and well-being by replacing negative thoughts, feelings and self-limiting behaviors with confidence, healthy coping skills, and a high level of personal satisfaction for yourself and your relationships. I specialize in assisting clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, and complex relationship difficulties.

Are you overwhelmed? Do you feel lonely and isolated from friends and family? Do past traumatic events impact your ability to live in the present? Were you told as a child to "toughen up" and that your feelings and struggles would go away? Do you feel embarrassed to get mental health help? Depression, anxiety, and trauma do not disappear with age. If you have lost family, friends, professional identity, or other parts of your support system over the years, coping can become increasingly difficult. Therapy can help you build motivation, balance, and clarity in your life. Your past does not have to dictate your future.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in private practice. I am also a Licensed Counselor Supervisor and Registered Play Therapy Supervisor. I earned my Masters of Science degree at the University of North Texas, and received advanced training in Play Therapy, Expressive Arts and Filial Therapy. I have more than 18 years of experience working with children and families. I specialize in working with Preschool age children and their parents to address concerns regarding emotional and social development and behavioral issues while enhancing the parent-child relationship. I am also passionate about working with pre-adolescents and adolescents. Counseling in adolescence is beneficial to facilitate healthy coping skills and self-expression. I also specialize in addressing the psycho-therapeutic needs of individuals with eating disorders, women with postpartum depression, and families who have experienced the death of a loved one.

Welcome. My name is Samatha and I specialize in areas often related to interpersonal trauma such as post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems, and issues of social inequity. Interpersonal trauma can include anything from childhood trauma that occurs in the family of origin, to ongoing discrimination in everyday life. Often times, trauma interferes with our ability to trust others and the world around us. This makes it very difficult to feel safe and secure in our own skin. It can be challenging to engage in the present moment and feel fulfilled, and it can compromise our health in many ways.

Serving others has been a life-long passion of mine. My goal in counseling is to provide a safe space for you to be your true, authentic self while finding the help you need–without feeling judged or criticized. We are all truly unique, and culture, family, friends, and circumstances can shape us in beautiful yet sometimes challenging ways. My hope is to meet you where you are and help you navigate any of life’s paths you may be walking down.

It takes great courage to go to counseling because it requires us to be vulnerable. The paradox is that it is precisely through our vulnerability that we arrive at greater joy and belonging to ourselves and to others. Let me start off by saying that counseling can really make a difference in the quality of our lives. With my clinical experience and background, I help people find their true selves and engage life from that deeper place. Things that cause us anxiety and depression are seen with proper perspective and life becomes smoother and more joyful! Hablo espanol!

My therapeutic approach is Existential Phenomenological, heavily emphasizing Jungian psychology.

Additional studies include play therapy, art therapy, SandPlay, family studies, psychophysiology, and neuropsychology. My eclectic tools range from expressive art therapies to cognitive behavioral techniques.
