Hi, there! My name is Sam. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I received my Masters degree from the University of Southern Indiana, and I carried out my clinical training in Atlanta, GA. I've been independently licensed since August 2020, and I'm credentialed to work in Texas, Georgia, and Indiana. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, life transitions, general stress, in addition to other presenting obstacles. As a practitioner of Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), I strive to help clients become the best version of themselves.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Initially, we will work together to establish a desired outcome or "best hopes." Following this, we will collaborate to build a description of your life relative to your desired outcome. I operate under the assumption that YOU are the expert of your own life, therefore I'm not going to give you a list of tasks to complete in order to feel better. I will, however, ask a series of specific questions in an effort to establish new thinking patterns and promote a sense of hope, optimism, and self-sufficiency. I promise you are more capable than you realize.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Establishing good rapport is critical to the therapeutic process, and I pride myself on being human, non-judgmental, and down-to-earth. I like to think that I demonstrate a noticeable attention to detail in all facets of life, including as a therapy provider. I've been told that I'm careful and attentive as it relates to providing feedback and formulating questions. As a result of this, I leave my clients feeling supported, listened to, and, ultimately, cared for. I'm proud to be a part of a growing movement that is Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and I believe whole-heartedly in the effectiveness of my approach.
