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 am currently see clients in a private practice, based in Staten Island, NY. I believe in hollistically treating my clients and strive to add them in becoming the best versions of themselves, while encompassing self-love and self-compassion throughout their journey in counseling. I enjoy working with adolescents, teens, and young adults who struggle with anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, relationship issues, and people-pleasing tendencies. I utilize an electic approach that derives from the following theoretical orientations: Mindfulness-Based CBT, Sand Tray Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Internal Family Systems.
