Making the decision to begin therapy can feel like a big step. Congratulations on starting your wellness journey! I’m here to make sure that therapy is meaningful and to walk with you toward your full potential and personal goals. I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I take a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals. I welcome you to reach out whenever you feel ready to begin. I’m here to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can be yourself. Hello! I am Samantha Hampton-Scott, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in the Bay Area. I provide trauma-informed and client-center therapy services to teens, adults, and families. I offer a warm, welcoming, and safe space that is judgement free and you be your authentic self. *PLEASE NOTE: I ACCEPT KAISER CLIENTS. Please call Kaiser directly in order to book with me*
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We’ll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. Together, we establish agreements to ensure that your therapeutic environment feels safe, healing, and mutually respectful. It is normal to feel nervous or anxious about your first appointment. No need to worry, I’m here to guide you through each step of the process.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My communication style is warm, empowering, and direct. I use empathy and active listening to create a supportive and non-judgmental environment. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Together, we’ll identify and set personal goals like improving relationships, building self-esteem, or reframing anxious thoughts. Throughout your journey, some goals may evolve as you gain new insights. We can adapt our plan at any time to ensure it works for you. I’m here to provide you with the support and tools you need to continue to move closer to where you want to be, even when things feel challenging.
