Anxiety Therapists in Larchmont, NY

I am committed to working collaboratively to help my clients achieve their goals and improve their quality of life. Always using a trauma-informed approach, I bring my years of experience in the healthcare setting and in oncology support services to help clients find hope and meaning in the face of a crisis. Whether managing a life transition or serious illness, mourning the loss of a loved one, or processing the end of a relationship, my training supports individuals managing a range of stressors and losses. I have support group facilitation experience with bereavement, cancer and divorce.

Many of us have experienced feeling completely overwhelmed. Many of us have also struggled with managing different relationships in our lives. My clients have often found themselves feeling this way as they work to get through various life stages. Regardless of what challenge you’re experiencing, a therapeutic relationship can help you through the challenges that come up while maneuvering through different life cycles. I have worked with individuals, couples, and families that sought therapy for a variety of relational and emotional concerns. My goal in working with clients is to help enrich their lives and wellbeing.

As a dedicated and empathic psychotherapist, I seek to build a robust therapeutic connection with each of my clients. Drawing from both Eastern and Western philosophies, I empower individuals to reconstruct their life narratives by tapping into their inner resilience, even in the face of adversity. My approach is grounded in an integrative framework that blends trauma-informed, strengths-based, narrative, and cognitive-behavioral therapy principles. I am also a certified yoga teacher and Reiki practitioner, weaving elements of these mindful practices into our work together.

Welcome! Samantha, a licensed therapist in NYS, specializing in virtual therapy for individuals, couples, and families. I'm dedicated to guiding clients through interpersonal issues, relationship dynamics, mental health challenges, sexual well-being and life transitions. I find joy in supporting clients on their healing journey, fostering growth both within and beyond the therapeutic space.

Let's embark on this journey together!

If you feel hopeless, I will hold hope for you. If you feel helpless, I will remind you of how strong you are even if you don't feel strong in the moment. We all struggle to let go of our past, maybe an imperfect childhood or a traumatic romantic relationship. We all want a second chance to create the life we were supposed to have. Change is painful. And you may have to walk away from something, or someone, who no longer serves you.

Life can be overwhelming. You may feel stuck, alone or unable to achieve your goals. You may have tried various things to dislodge this fear from taking hold. Fear of being stuck in a cycle of being constantly overwhelmed by your emotions. Fear that you are alone and no one understands what you are going through. But things don’t have to be this way! With the right help you will find that profound change is possible and that you can be free of this weight on top of you.

Beginning therapy is a commitment to yourself. In a safe, supportive setting, I partner with my clients in bravely exploring their challenges and hopes. From addressing the emotions of major life transitions - feeling anxious, depressed, afraid, angry, grieving - to developing the interpersonal skills needed to navigate and be successful in personal and professional relationships, our work will draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches to ease suffering, increase coping, and enhance quality of life. I work with individuals age 13 and older.
