Teletherapy for 46074

My name is Samantha Wright-Cooksey, MSW, LCSW. I have been a therapist for over 20 years with combined experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and their families. I have provided professional services in outpatient, home, community and school-based settings. I have worked in addictions as well as end of life issues. I utilize strength-based and solution focused techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and problem solving skills training. I offer in person and telehealth options for therapy. I accept most insurance, EAP, and self pay options.

You want something to change, but don't know where to start. Maybe it's how you feel: Sometimes your thoughts, feelings, emotions, stories, and sensations try to get in the way of moving toward what's meaningful to you. Maybe it's how your relationship feels: Sometimes the communication patterns between the two of you can erode trust and commitment, leaving your relationship bond damaged or broken. Maybe you're haunted by your past: Like broken glass, many traumatic memories can be fragmented and jagged, stored in your mind and body, emotionally wounding you over and over again, until you're left dejected and exhausted... or alone.

At some point, most of us come to a point in our lives where we feel stuck. You might be at this point right now. You've tried everything you can think of to shift things, but nothing seems to be working. The gap between where you want to be and where you actually are can cause great pain. I help people Get Unstuck, Live Better and Move Forward. I do this through various experiential therapies that utilize EMDR, Creativity and Movement. Check out my welcome video on our website www.yellowkeycollab.com to see if I might be a good fit for you.

Is shame preventing you from fully experiencing life? Do you keep falling into unhealthy relationship patterns? Is life feeling more unmanageable with each passing day? Are you looking for an EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) trained therapist to help you overcome past trauma? If any of these questions resonate with you, I'm here to offer a safe space where you can be your authentic self. I utilize a variety of approaches, including EMDR, Trauma Focused CBT, Motivational Interviewing, psychoeducation, and the Gottman Method. I have immediate availability for virtual daytime appointments.

Dedicated to serving clients in a professional office setting and continuing telehealth on a HIPAA compliant platform. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Board Certified Art Therapist I offer creative interventions for new ways of improving communication and solutions to improve important realtionships. Utilizing the creative part of oneself can be meaningful with or without an aesthetic product or result. The creative process can also reframe one's view of their problems and challenges which can lead to improved mental health and well being.

Marriage can push us to the limit. Connection and friendship are the foundation of a happy relationship, however, connection is easier said than done. Couples easily get stuck in repeating the same arguments that never seem to go anywhere. Pain from the past, depression or anxiety, disappointment, and broken relationships often hold us captive and keep us from connecting with the ones we love. I work with my clients to break these destructive cycles and help them learn to love others and themselves well. Don’t settle for the status quo. Let me help you and your spouse unlock the emotional connection you have always wanted.

I specialize in helping those with anxiety, depression, & relationship issues. Whether it is a relational, work, school, or family issue, talking about it with someone often aids in clarity and change. I want to help those individuals/families who are struggling to make sense of the chaos, look for understanding insight, and make those changes that will help them to start feeling more hopeful and excited about life again.

My ideal client would struggle with diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, or mood-related issues. This client would be self-motivated and have identified goals that are being held back or complicated by their mental health issues. The client would be able to identify areas that are strengths and weaknesses for themselves and would be willing to put forth the effort that is growth and change. Also, this client would be open to new and different suggestions for coping strategies or ways of thinking about difficulties they may experience in order to learn and grow.

I appreciate someone with an open heart and a willingness to explore their inner self. I value individuals who are ready to engage and connect in meaningful conversations. I know it can be hard to take the first step for help, and look for someone who is committed to their own growth and willing to collaborate in their goals. Trust, honesty, and a desire to change create a supportive connecting environment where healing and transformation can take place.

As a therapist, I am most excited to see clients motivated to explore their unknown strengths, widen their horizons, increase their abilities to make informed decisions and lead a life of meaning as they define it. Everyone I have worked with brings to therapy a foundation upon which to grow. Regardless of the problem, an enhanced sense of self is possible. Instilling hope of something better in life is one of my greatest motivations, and assisting others in achieving their goals drew me to this profession.

My ideal client would be someone who is geared towards helping themselves and needing guidance on how to do so. Someone who has a grasp on the importance of the client putting in the work to truly help heal themselves but needing assistance ensuring they are doing things in a healthy and emotionally intelligent fashion. Talk therapy is very important for clients who even just want to come and vent, which I believe helps the mind unclutter.
