Sam Deveau
Hi there, I'm Samantha Living with stress, depression and/or anxiety can be exhausting. Being able to learn different strategies and techniques to manage symptoms can change and improve your life. I am a clinical licensed social worker that specializes in working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, life stressors and relationships. One of my approaches to therapy is to help provide support, guidance and useful feedback that can help you effectively address life changes. Life presents us with numerous transitions - illness, health issues, separation, the death of a loved one, alcohol/drug problems and others. Seeking therapy can sometimes feel scary, but you're making the right choice and taking a step closer to a positive change. Together, we can work to find the best coping strategies and techniques to help you through any challenging transition. Let's work together!
The treatment methods I like to use is Person- Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavorial Therapy(CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Strength-Based and Coaching.
First session
In our first sessions, we start with brief introductions and explore what’s the clients expectations are for therapy. I always give clients the options of setting specific goals and using therapy as a safe space to vent. Sometimes starting therapy can feel scary, however, I always feel it’s priority to make therapy comfortable and relaxing for clients.
Strengths
The areas I feel are my biggest strengths include, depression, anxiety, life transitions, family changes, and trauma.
Ideal clients
I have a lot of experience in working with clients that struggle with depression, anxiety and trauma.
