I, as well, have experience working with addictions, anxiety, gender identity, and sexual issues.
Seeking help can be a rough and complicated process. A little about me as a counselor, I like to try and understand the person as a whole and work towards their goals through a collaborative process. Every human is unique, and I want to embrace that. I have had over 5 years of experience in the field of Addiction Treatment. Through this experience I learned to embrace the process of growth. I was able to see the profound impact mental health could have on an individual's life and became passionate about the field.

I work with those who feel like they're carefully managing their relationships and feeling unfulfilled, over-extended, and chronically flooded by the demands of showing up for themselves. They find themselves in dynamics that are impactful in distracting and painful ways, with much of their effort often driven by a sense of scarcity. In my practice, I seek to help restructure the relationships clients have with maintenance, abundance, and reciprocity in their inner and outer worlds.

To do this, I share pieces of my life such as my interest in drawing or Dungeons and Dragons, being a transgender person with ADHD.
My name is Samantha, and I'm a psychologist. I enjoy working with teens and adults, especially those who have experienced intense pain and struggled with their identity. Individuals who trauma, engage in self-harm, have ADHD, and/or identify as LGBTQ+ bring a lot of emotional depth to sessions which can be channeled into growth. One of my favorite parts of being a therapist is watching a client own their story in a way that helps them find fulfillment in life.

My clients are adults experiencing grief or trauma related to death, relationship loss, illness, pet loss, job change, divorce, life transitions, or identity disruption. They often feel angry, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of who they are now, and may not even realize that what they are experiencing is grief. The people who tend to benefit most from my practice are those who want more than just symptom management. They are looking for a therapist who can hold space for the complexity of grief, help them make sense of their experience, and guide them toward living a life that honors both their loss and their future.

Transgender Therapists
As a gender-diverse individual, why might I want to see a therapist who is also gender diverse?
A trans or gender-diverse client may want to see a therapist who is also trans or gender diverse because the client may feel safer sharing their experiences and more confident that the therapist will understand, validate, and support them. But trans or gender-diverse clients can also benefit from therapy with cisgender therapists; this is a personal decision based on the connection between the client and the therapist, and if that connection is strong, therapy will be successful.
What if I cannot find a therapist who shares my gender identity?
Therapy can still be effective if a therapist does not share a client’s gender identity; a large body of research indicates that the most important factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. A therapist can also be interviewed for sensitivity and competence on gender identity and expression to ensure they possess appropriate knowledge and skills. Many therapists have excellent training and extensive experience working with gender-diverse clients, and that expertise can be invaluable despite a therapist not sharing the same firsthand experiences.
How can I recognize a good therapist for working with gender-diverse clients?
An experienced therapist should be able to help clients explore their gender identity and expression, alleviate discomfort related to their gender identity, treat mental health challenges and trauma, address existing relationships and communication with family members and loved ones, and determine the next steps pertaining to nonmedical or medical gender-affirming interventions. To recognize a good therapist, clients can ask about these topics and explore their comfort and connection with the clinician.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with transgender clients?
Clients should feel comfortable asking therapists directly about their experience working with transgender or gender-diverse clientele. For example, clients may ask about the therapist’s training and education with regard to gender identity, how many trans clients they’ve worked with in the past, and what sorts of matters were discussed. You may wish to inquire how a therapist specifically supports the needs of transgender clients or clients questioning their gender identity. A good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals to others based on the concerns you articulate in a preliminary conversation.
