My website

As a woman of faith, I understand the values and concerns of my Christian clients, and I know the power of God to heal and restore.

I do very deep work with my individual, married, and group clients: healing the wounds that underlie compulsions and addictions, depression and anxiety, anger and abuse, codependency and sexual problems. I often find that an unrecognized power imbalance is at the root of couple's conflict, and I specialize in all aspects of sex addiction recovery.

I also lead groups: on my website you can join an interest list for a sexual desire discrepancy couple's group, a sex addiction couple's early recovery group, or a divorce group. Call me to share what you are looking for, and I'll let you know how I can help. Our conversation will give you a chance to sense what it would be like to work with me.

I come to the table with a non-judgmental, grace-filled Christian perspective, but we will work much deeper than merely throwing scripture at the problem. Although the coping skills I will share with you are important, a profound resolution to your struggles will arise as we compassionately explore underlying factors.

I like to use IFS, which uses self-compassion to remove burdens such as worthlessness, shame, loneliness, fear, resentment & pain from deep within, freeing my clients to experience confidence, peace, love, and freedom. I also like to use ACT, a form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help clients unhook from unhelpful thoughts in order to change their feelings for the better.

Groups

Online Divorce Group

Hosted by

Treina Samaras

This faith-informed group is for women exploring or pursuing divorce from men who struggle with sex addiction and/or exhibit narcissistic traits. These divorces are challenging on every level, and so this is a place for much needed emotional support, for spiritual encouragement of your choice to leave, for an exchange of ideas and solutions that work, and for celebrating one another's successes. We meet online, and we would love to have you join us.

Online Sexual Desire Discrepancy

Hosted by

Treina Samaras

In this faith-informed 10 week group, you will meet other couples struggling with the pain of differing sexual desire levels, and together you will be challenged to embrace a completely new perspective on the problem. I will create a safe atmosphere for frank discussions, in which you will be able to experience your partner's empathy for your situation even as you express empathy for theirs. I will also present a fresh paradigm for the group to explore, which has the potential to restore or create a greater emotional and sexual closeness with your spouse.
