About Samantha…..
Samantha Bell, LCMHC, NCC, CHt
(she/her)
I am delighted that you have chosen me as your therapist. I have over a decade of experience in the field. I have worked in various settings (inpatient, outpatient, residential, school, collegiate, military base, etc.) until I finally found a way to service everyone in one space, without limits, my private practice.
During our sessions, we will develop a collaborative relationship where we work on any presiding issues that you have. This will allow you to really dig deep within yourself to gain a better understanding of your self-awareness. I use a lot of solution and behavior focused interventions, while still meeting you where you are. Overall, my therapeutic approach is eclectic, and I aim to become more holistic. Note, that we will establish the best goals for your treatment, develop a plan for achieving these goals, and work closely to ensure these goals are achieved. I look forward to working with you!
A little bit about me
without the fluff……
I have had personal experiences with mental health and the effects it can have on the family unit. I saw first hand how much lack of knowledge can do injustices.
My love for learning and passion, led me to become a therapist. Through this path, I was truly able to walk in my own sense of identity, as well as support my passion as a therapist and as an individual.
I have a love for people who are in the unknown and stuck points. People who are uncertain of themselves or their identity. Individuals that need to feel empowered and healed. Ones who have learned to operate on auto pilot in the outside world only due to avoiding healing the inside world. If this sounds like you, reach out so we can unpack your book bag.
During our sessions, I will combine my personal experiences as well as my professional expertise to get you to a place of whole healing. It is a lot at times, but with the right mindset, and dedication, we will push through even in the rough patches to find a balance.
