About me

Hi, I am Samantha Sadler! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Indiana, serving both Indiana and Kentucky. I graduated with a Masters of Science in Social Work from the University of Louisville in 2020 and have been practicing for 3 years. I enjoy helping clients better understand the source of distressing symptoms in order to reduce the frequency and intensity of those behaviors while also guiding clients toward self-acceptance and creating changes that positively affect their quality of life.

Get to know me

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

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me work with you to create a personalized plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I ensure that each client remains an active participant in the treatment planning process and offer transparency of what to expect in upcoming sessions in order to promote client self-confidence when coming into sessions. I also have achieved Level II of the Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP-II) certification and am equipped to help clients learn how to carry their lived experiences in a new way.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I enjoy working with adults, who struggle with anxiety and negative self-beliefs. My clients are motivated to learn more about their natural strengths, learn new ways to cope with stressors, and build their self-esteem. My prior clients have learned (sometimes for the first time in their life) to not only speak to themselves in a way that is kinder but have also learned to speak more assertively to others in all areas of life (personal relationships, the workplace, etc.).

My treatment methods

EMDR

Trained in EMDR in 2022, I have enjoyed utilizing this modality to help address underlying core beliefs that contribute to a person's relationships with others and with themselves.

Strength-Based

I believe that all individuals have strengths even when they sometimes cannot see their own strengths and strive to structure sessions around each individual's strengths. Even the behaviors for which the client is seeking treatment have contributed to their survival thus far and for this reason, I promote curiosity about the behavior in order to highlight the client's survival rather than view the behavior as something "negative" or "bad."

Trauma Informed Care

A person's lived experiences can have a lasting impact on their quality of life, self-beliefs, and coping. As a therapist committed to honoring each client's spoken and unspoken histories, I have achieved Level 2 Certification as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP-II) and recognize the privilege of being involved in each client's journey of healing.

Samantha is an exceptional listener. She is good at remembering important things that were brought up earlier in the session or even in previous sessions. She has helped me to look deeper into the issues I have, helping me to find the sources. Then she gave me insight into how to face, move through, and move past those issues. Samantha is very professional with a warm and non judgemental demeanor which helps me stay focused on the issues; allowing our sessions to be very helpful and productive.

Battled back and forth with going to therapy for about 5 years. Finally made the step with Samantha and I can tell she is here to help me get better. Great for college students.
