Samantha Leader

(she/her)

LCSW, 3 years of experience
Open-minded
Humorous

The heart of my practice is in creating a therapeutic space where individuals can explore the corners of their emotions and experiences, navigate life’s challenges, and cultivate meaningful connections. In my approach, I incorporate collaboration, introspection, humor, and creativity to empower my clients to lead fulfilling and purposeful lives. In my practice, I integrate principles from attachment theory, solution focused therapy, CBT, ACT, and psychoeducation to tailor therapeutic interventions that address the unique needs of each client. I believe in the interconnectedness of individuals within their familial, social, and cultural contexts, emphasizing the importance of understanding how these systems influence one’s psychological well-being.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session will mostly be a 'getting to know you' session - think of it as a meet and greet! Not only is it a chance for me to learn about you and your goals for therapy, but it is also a chance for you to get to know me, and ensure that we are a good fit! There will be plenty of time for heavy stuff later, so no need to feel that you need to spill it all in that first session!

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have been working as a social worker for the past 11 years, and have spent time conversing with people from all walks of life. I like learning about your story as much as you are willing to share, and I love to ask questions to get you thinking deeper and more critically.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I enjoy working with clients no matter what stage of change they are in. Perhaps you are feeling motivated for a full reset, or maybe you are just testing the waters. Either way, I am here to help get you to a comfortable place where you feel able to make the changes you want to see in your life.
