Attachment-based Therapists in Strafford, PA

I offer an opportunity to address multiple issues with an emphasis on the effects of trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss. Trauma and emotional pain can lead to a sense of being stuck. This can feel like being stuck in responses to situations and events and people that maintain our pain and present obstacles to our growth and flourishing. A warm and trusting therapeutic relationship can create an opportunity to get unstuck. This can manifest as increased confidence and a feeling that you are more present in your life. It can foster self awareness and improvement in your relationship with yourself and others.

Are you struggling in your relationships? Maybe disruptive behavior is making it difficult to connect with your child or teenager. Maybe you are struggling in your relationship with your partner or even in the relationship you have with yourself. Hi! I’m Samantha and I work together with my clients, who include children, adolescents, adults, and families, to find realistic and creative solutions to the struggles they are facing. I enjoy drawing on the strengths of my clients and being a part of their journey of making the changes they want in their lives.

I work against the position that views human challenges through a narrow lens bound by diagnosis and pathology. In family therapy, I work with adolescents and their caregivers who are impacted by protracted conflict and disconnection. I work with couples who are caught in patterns of conflict, avoidance, and misunderstanding. Individual therapy places emphasis on the security and safety of the therapeutic relationship in order to create opportunities for change.

I want you to feel powerful and in control of your life, knowing at a deep level that you can have the things you want and you can feel good every day. This is my goal for you. If you want to feel better, brighter, more free, and like things in your life flow easily, and you need a hand getting there, I can help. How would your life be different if you felt hopeful, optimistic, and excited about the path you're on? How would you feel if you were truly connected to your authentic self and your desires, knowing that all of this is possible for you. Getting there is actually simple but not necessarily easy. That's where I can help.

Welcome to therapy! I am here to provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space for individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

I strive to create a safe, supportive environment to explore many of life's difficulties including complex trauma, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, relationship/attachment issues, self-esteem, chronic illness, phobias, loss & grief, mood disorders, & spiritual issues. Using an integrated approach, I incorporate different styles and techniques tailored to each individual's needs supporting the whole person with a mind-body-spirit approach. Working together, we increase self-awareness through the use of breathwork, meditation, and mindfulness as we facilitate the process of psychological & emotional healing.

Throughout a woman’s life there are many emotional shifts and it takes strength to reach out for support.

I have specialized training in anxiety, maternal mental health (pregnancy, birth, postpartum, motherhood), child development, and eating disorders.

I aspire to make the world, or at least our little microcosm, a more kind and loving place. I believe therapy can help us become better versions of ourselves, deepen connection with each other, and bring more kindness to our relationships. Our innate capacity to heal and grow, both within and in relation with others, is strengthened by the guidance of genuine human connection.

Rosetree Center for Healthy Sexuality provides safe, confidential, sex-positive psychotherapy helping adolescents, adults, and couples navigate their sexuality concerns.

It has been a privilege and continues to be a privilege to provide therapy to such diverse, curious, and brave individuals who seek out treatment for growth, recovery, healing, greater self-awareness, the desire for deeper relationships and intimacy, and change. Bearing witness to the pain, resiliency, and bravery of my patients is humbling, challenging, and highly rewarding work.

If you need a peaceful place to be heard with compassion, I can help. I believe the key to our mental health is being able to express our true selves and be heard. Receiving guidance for understanding and navigating emotions and behaviors that may be blocking our goals can lead to living more of the life we were meant to live. I work with individuals, children, couples or families. We can journey together with hope toward healing and thriving.

Currently accepting new clients!- Are you struggling to find balance in your life? Do you set high standards for yourself and feel like a failure if you don’t reach those goals? You may experience high anxiety and need control at all times. It can be exhausting and overwhelming all at once.

For most people taking the step to start working on therapeutic goals can be intimidating. I pride myself in utilizing a collaborative approach to treatment that meets clients where they are while also celebrating the progress they make along the way. I firmly believe that within each person lies the key to improving their own mental wellbeing. I help clients find strength within themselves by unearthing their personal key and then apply it to their life. As a therapist and supervisor I focus on family, couples and children's therapy, especially working with neurodivergence and the full autism spectrum using evidence-based models.

How would your life be different if you spoke to a safe, non-judgmental, experienced, therapist? I meet people where they are and work with adults treating a variety of needs. Through deep listening, compassion and understanding, we'll explore what's upsetting you and create a plan on what to do about it. Our crisis points are also our turning points.

Children, teenagers, and adults all want to feel in charge of their own lives; I believe in fostering your personal growth and change despite any obstacles you might encounter. As humans, we strive to feel capable, considered, content, centered, and connected to others. I will help you realize your inherent strengths; such as, encouraging parents to feel competent in their parenting strategies; guiding children and teens to respect and understand their parents’ values and expectations; bridging gaps in communication between couples and family members; and challenging you or your child to take new, manageable risks in your life.
