Therapists in Sunnyvale, TX

Each of us struggles with a variety of issues throughout our lives, and the decision to seek counseling is the first courageous step toward healing and cultivating a satisfying life. Some enter counseling during a time of crisis, while others seek counseling to overcome conflicts, explore relationships, or to attain a greater authenticity. I work to help each of my clients to become more self-aware and to obtain new insights or coping skills so that they can move forward to foster healthy relationships and to create more happiness and peace.

Hello! My name is Samantha Boubel. I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience helping children, teens, and families forge a safe place to move towards social and emotional health & wellness. I help children understand their thoughts, feelings, impulses, and needs. I help kiddos discover their strengths and grow in self-control and responsibility.

I can help adults, teens, & children work through the fear, anxiety, stress and trauma and help you build strong, healthy, resilient individuals and families. I enjoy working with all ages and specialize in family conflict, anxiety/depression, trauma, PTSD, Veterans, First Responders, & child specialties.

I believe in creating an environment which serves as a ‘soft place to land’ for my clients. When children are challenged, the entire family is challenged. By creating a positive environment where children feel accepted, valued, and safe, they are able to make sense of their world by expressing themselves in a way that feels natural to them. Children do not always have words to communicate their struggles and can become overwhelmed by big emotions. As a Registered Play Therapist, I strive to give voice to these challenges and support caregivers in navigating the sometimes difficult and very important job of parenting.

Choosing a counselor is one of the most important decisions you can make. You want someone who is caring, knowledgeable, and accessible; someone willing to take the time to listen to your concerns and treat you as a person, not just a client.

Accepting new clients! Remember when you were a teenager? All the anxiety and frustration! It was so hard to navigate the pressures of friends, dating, academics, and decisions about the future. Now, you see your own child facing these same issues, and you feel powerless to help. It’s like she’s become a different person overnight. She’s dressing differently and has a whole new group of friends you don’t know. Calls from the school have been coming in about misbehavior, skipping, and her grades are slipping. When you try to talk to her about what she's going through, it just pushes her further away. You’re out of ideas.

My ideal client is anyone dealing with the human condition. Need to talk? You would be perfect. Feel stuck? You would be perfect. Conflicted? You would also be perfect. My ideal client is interested in progress over perfection.

Whatever the reason you are looking for counseling services, please know I am glad you here! For some people, it is easy to ask for help & for others, it is extremely difficult. You might be struggling with managing difficult behaviors with your child & unsure of how to help them. You might question whether you should even come to counseling because you are not sure if what you are going through is "really bad enough" compared to others. I have worked with many different people in helping them to process through whatever the concerns. Also providing clinical supervision to LMSW's working toward clinical licensure.

I have been a counselor working with children, adults, and families for 25 years.
