Sometimes you might wake up and feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders. Maybe work is stressing you out; there is friend drama in the group text; perhaps your partner is getting on your nerves, or heck your whole family is driving you nuts! Whatever it is, you are not alone. Talking it out, having someone really hear you; receiving validation that you are in fact NOT crazy...it can help. Knowing you don't have to carry that weight all by yourself can be lifesaving. Whatever it is you are struggling with, my name is Samantha Petroshius-Crocker and I am here to help and support you.

You’re stuck. You aren’t sure how to move forward or even picture what that would be like for yourself. You’re hurting; from the past. Whether it is due to a rough childhood or that one time you sat in your room wondering if it’s all really worth it. You’re in distress about the present. Maybe because of a break-up or challenges at work. You’re worried about the future. About feeling like yourself again. You’re in pain and just want to feel… Understood, heard, validated, and safe. You have your good days, but it seems like the bad are starting to outweigh the good. You’re at the place where you’d like to try coming in for therapy.

I worked in the field since 2004. I enjoy building relationships with each family member, working with behavior problems in-home or at school, working with issues related to being a new mother or father, and traumatic experiences. To restore strained relationships can be both very powerful and empowering. To reprocess trauma in the brain can start the healing process in order to move forward with life. The people that I have provided therapy to ranged in age from 2 years old up through mature adults.

My ideal client is ready and motivated for a new way of living. They may be struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, PTSD, food-related issues, work stress, grief, lack of purpose, burn out, or overall unhappiness without knowing why. My clients want to feel better, happier, and more balanced. They are tired of struggling and ready to find a fresh path. My clients want to feel heard and seen, exactly as they are, without judgment. My clients long for inner-peace and to feel joy inside, sometimes for the first time ever or in a very long time.

The dragonfly, in almost every part of the world, symbolizes the change in the perspective of self-realization. The kind of change that has its source in mental and emotional maturity and the understanding of the deeper meaning of life. We weave this meaning into the fabric of our mission and in the work we provide to every client enrolled at SHARE. Are you stuck or lost? Are you struggling with anxiety and fear? Are those intrusive thoughts derailing your days? Feeling disconnected from yourself or your partner(s) can leave you feeling unloved, undesirable, and alone. Whatever your struggle, I am here for you.

I help people whose unresolved trauma has turned into anxiety, depression, fear of living, and avoidance, just to name a few. These symptoms take over at the worst possible moments, therefore, finding it debilitating and are in need of help to decrease these symptoms, and find fulfillment in their lives. I treat couples in marriage counseling who might have grown apart, have infidelity/online love romances, or communication problems. I ask you to question, "What if life with your partner could be as exciting as it was when you first got together?” If you want to find out, give me a call.

The human experience is not void of struggle. And while this is true for all of us at some point, it’s no longer necessary to move through challenging seasons alone. Reaching out for support is a great first step toward a healthier and happier future.

My passion is to provide evidence based therapy to children and adults utilizing play in session as well as Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), Accelerated resolution therapy (ART), and Person-centered therapy. I specialize in treating clients suffering with depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, and coping skills. In the first session, clients can expect a warm, welcoming environment where they can share confidential information. Together as a team, the client (and family) and I will set goals for therapy and come up with a plan to help the client reach those goals.

I feel passionately about helping people overcome feelings of shame, learn self-acceptance, and discover new ways to cope with the stressors of life.

Does the thought of rejection hamper your ability to connect with others? Ever feel like a black sheep? Ever feel like you don’t understand something you should be understanding about life?
