Life gets hard. Sometimes we have to fight. Sometimes we need help making things make sense. Sometimes we need a little encouragement and motivation. Sometimes we just need to talk and someone to listen. Sometimes we just need to understand that we are not alone in whatever it is we are going through, and whatever challenges we are facing. If you are looking for help finding that light at the end of the tunnel or help navigating this thing called life, I'm here for you. Hello and welcome. My name is Sametris. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in FL I have been providing mental health services in the community and prison/jail setting for about 9 years. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns from depression, anxiety, anger issues, family and relationship issues, life changes, and grief, as well as include schizophrenia and borderline personality disorder. I have helped people with addiction issues and histories of trauma and abuse. I look forward to working with you.

Get to know me

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

In our first session together, we will start with a brief interview. I would like to learn a little about you and what brought you to therapy and I would like to tell you a little about me. I want to make sure that our expectations for our sessions align so that I can better help you on your journey.

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

My approach includes person-centered and cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, existential therapy and solution-focused therapy. I like to meet people where they are and tailor treatment to meet specific needs.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

One of my favorite quotes is "Treat yourself like someone you're responsible for taking care of." Self-care is important. If we don't care for ourselves, how can we effectively care for the people around us? I want everyone to be able to experience the joy that life brings. We all deserve a piece of happiness. Even at our lowest points, and darkest times, there is something to look forward to. There is still light at the end of the tunnel. The sun is always shining somewhere. Let's work together to find it.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with clients who are ready to do the work, ask and answer the tough questions, take a good hard look at themselves, and HEAL. Help me Help you! Therapy is team work. It is a collective effort. Let's do this together.

Sametris intelligence, quick wit, and direct approach create a space that is both grounding and challenging in all the right ways. I’ve never felt more seen, understood, or safe in a therapeutic setting. They have a rare ability to cut through the noise with clarity and care, offering insights that are not only deeply validating but often laced with just the right amount of humor to make hard truths land with grace.
