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.

Through a warm and integrative approach, I use the mind-body connection as a focal point of much of my work with clients. I work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression and the need for change. They are typically looking for someone to help them through relationship challenges, family dynamics, chronic illness, career stressors and greater self-discovery. My sessions are guided by my empathy, warmth authenticity and humor.
