Samantha Southard

Mental Health Counselor, LMHC

Hi there! My name is Samantha, aka The Blonde Therapist, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in New York. I believe in challenging the notion of a "blank slate therapist, and encompass my own personality into my role as a therapist. I understand that therapy cannot utilize a "one size fits all" approach in order to best meet the needs of each client.  I work with teens, young adults, and adult women who may be struggling with anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, relationship issues, and people-pleasing tendencies.

I strive to establish a supportive, collaborative, and honest relationship that encourages growth and change.
