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 am a psychotherapist in Manhattan, working in-person and remotely using psychodynamic therapy with a CBT approach. Specialties: anxiety, grief, parenting, maternal health, family dynamics, life transitions & school/career challenges.

I have been working for over 35 years as a clinical psychologist with children, adults and families. Over this period, I have developed expertise as an individual and couples psychotherapist, parent coordinator and educator for divorcing families. I have also provided psychotherapy for clients who live all over the world which has enabled me to develop a strong appreciation for cultural differences.

My goal as a therapist is to create a supportive environment for folks to explore their gender and sexuality. Perhaps you identify as queer, bi, lesbian, gay, pan, ace, trans, nonbinary, agender, poly, kinky, something else, all of the above, or nothing at all. You deserve to have a space where you can learn more about the different parts of yourself without judgment or pressure. As a queer person who has sought out therapy myself, I know how challenging it can be to find an affirming therapist. Even if your identity isn’t central to your therapy goals, I will always aim to honor and validate every part of your identity in our work.

I believe effective therapy begins with a strong client-therapist relationship. Together we create a space of trust and connection, to explore what feels most pressing for you now, as well as old patterns that may be holding you back from greater happiness and ease.

I am a NY-based bilingual (English & Spanish) licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years' clinical experience working with adolescents and adults from various backgrounds and cultures. I received my Master’s Degree in Social Work from New York University and have completed extensive training in several evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Functional Family Therapy (FFT), and Solution-Focused Therapy.

Therapy is ultimately an undertaking to feel better – an opportunity to add richness and worth to life. I am a licensed psychotherapist who has worked in the mental health field in varying capacities for over the past 10 years. Although I am highly specialized in trauma, I take pleasure in working with a diverse range of individuals and have experience helping them identify barriers to satisfaction, manage the difficulties surrounding them and reach desired goals.

Compassionate, trauma-informed therapy to help you move from surviving to living — in a safe space for healing, growth, and real connection.
