At an early I age I realized I wanted answers. I had many questions as a child that I had to try and figure out on my own. I was privileged to pursue an education that gave me these answers, and since then I have worked to help others find their own. I still remember the first few times I was able to understand complex emotions and situations, and how great it felt to know that there are real explanations to difficult things, even if its a challenging process.

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based out of Connecticut. I received my Masters of Social Work from the University of Saint Joseph. I have over a decade of experience utilizing a trauma-informed approach and other various evidence-based therapeutic modalities to help guide my clients along their healing journeys. Being born and raised in Hartford, CT, it was common to witness the challenges and barriers of living in a struggling inner-city both inside the home and outside in the community. My goal has always been to work in a capacity that helps others rise above and past their obstacles to achieve their desired life.

I’m delighted to see that you have taken a step towards investing in You! I will challenge you to think outside of the box. My priorities in therapy are helping clients build awareness around negative thoughts and finding the drive to build skills needed to support change. I pride myself on being empathetic, authentic, and open. I will consider your life experiences, cultural background, and values to meet you where you are. My goal is to create the most positive therapeutic relationship and open atmosphere. I am an Army Veteran, and I have a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Capella University. I am also a certified transformation and life coach that empowers individuals to make and sustain positive life changes.
I help individuals who are struggling with different aspects of their lives. As a clinician, I work with individuals who are seeking mental health care for anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, individuals who may have a lack of motivation, needing guidance towards self-care, and ways to become a better person in general. The motivation to begin a private practice came from years of working with many different individuals in mental health and realizing that there is not a ‘one fits all’ scenario to helping people. I wanted to reach more people in a more authentic manner.

Hi there! I'm Gily and I am glad you found me.
Are you a mama feeling the invisible load of motherhood? Are you finding it hard to connect with your family and children because of burnout? Are you losing your cool too easily these days? Or are you a new mama feeling overwhelmed with life with a new baby?
As a mother myself, I can say I’ve been on the other side of the motherhood trenches (and still am from time to time) and there’s nothing more isolating than navigating parenthood with limited support. I help mothers in all stages of their motherhood helping to regain joy and control back into their lives. Parenting is not easy, and together we can identify ways to overcome specific challenges and stressors.
With my client-centered and nurturing approach, I'll provide you with a safe place, free from shame and judgment, for you to share your feelings.
Whether you have a strong-willed child, suffer from depression or anxiety, carry most of the child-rearing tasks, or simply need someone to talk to, I'm here for you.
Together we can get you to be the mother you want to be.

In my practice, I provide compassionate care and support to individuals, couples, and families seeking therapy. I believe in the power of collaborative therapy and strive to create a nurturing and supportive environment where clients can embark on their journey to self-discovery and well-being. I offer a confidential and judgment-free space for authentic expression.
Mental health should be accessible, digestible, a love letter to yourself, and self-care people actually want to engage in. I believe in the power of laughing and humor in sessions and love when clients are able to be fully themselves whether it's using TikToks to show how they're feeling, cursing like a sailor, or letting go of the mask they wear daily.
Everyone deserves therapeutic support that respects and honors their individuality. If you're ready to start your journey towards healing and growth, I am here to support you every step of the way! I look forward to hearing from you and being part of your journey.

Hello! My name is Samantha Vamosy and I am so happy you are interested in working together. I know starting a therapy process whether you have before or this is your first time can be scary and uncomfortable. I hope we can work through this time together making this journey as helpful and special as possible. My passions have always aligned with helping others and listening in a compassionate, non-judgmental, and curious way. I find real change occurs when a person can fully explore their life in a holistic way. Whether it is current mental health symptoms or past traumas holistic healing is possible for everyone. I received my Master's in Mental Health Counseling at Fairfield University and achieved my LPC after completing 3000 hours in an outpatient clinic for substance abuse.
I value a person-centered approach that focuses on strength-based and solution-focused techniques. I also incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy to be able to challenge unhealthy patterns that no longer serve you. Together we will identify goals, by exploring what is and is not working and be able to collaboratively come up with solutions and learning tools to better overcome barriers to success. We will work at your pace and readjust goals and steps as we go along. Through these techniques we will work together to identify maladaptive thoughts that contribute to avoidance behaviors and fears that keep us stuck, feeling even more anxious and often depressed. Overcoming life transitions, challenges, and uncertainty can be difficult and no one should have to face these decisions on their own!

Therapy I feel is a chance to learn and shift patterns in our lives. Relationships are a key part of life but are difficult on many levels and we learn the way that we communicate with other from our experience. Learning and understanding that experience can help us make the changes that we would like to see in life. I believe in having an open space free from judgement were people can explore who they are and learn how to use that to change their lives and their relationships with others. I work with people from all different perspectives and believe that we are the products of our experience and that we can find ways to change the patterns that are not helpful for us. Communication is key in relationships but it is something that we have trouble with but are not always aware of the impact. Learning patterns, identifying the meaning that we put to our experiences and seeing our strengths are ways that allow us to become the person that we want to be without losing who we are.

Acknowledging that all cars come with rearview mirrors, I would like to spend some time hearing from you about past life events and journey that you think have contributed to your development (both positively and otherwise). My preferred way of assisting you is to focus on a Life Narrative format. Such narratives allow for many chapters, some written, many left to be written.
When warranted, I will provide psycho-educational information on topics of interest (i.e. diagnosis, skill building, coping skills, mindfulness, etc..) and will share with you both local and community supports that you could draw upon after our time together has come to a close.

Are you going through a difficult life transition or dealing with a serious medical issue? Has a diagnosis turned your world upside down? Thoughts of scans, tests, treatment, and side effects can be overwhelming. Do you feel like you should be living a life filled with gratitude, but instead, you feel lost?
I specialize in providing grief and trauma support to individuals and caregivers who are facing cancer, chronic illness, or major life changes. All of these experiences share a sense of powerlessness. Through our work, you can regain a sense of control and find peace despite the challenges in your life. Together, we can develop a personalized set of coping skills to help you overcome the anxiety, depression, and grief that often accompany these life events.

“Hint: the cage is not locked.” (Nova Knutson). You deserve to be emotionally free. I work with adult women experiencing chronic anxiety looking to achieve practical, long-term relief. High-functioning anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, people-pleasing tendencies, overthinking, & more may be common issues you're struggling with. Through therapy, you will learn and implement effective skills to minimize anxiety's impact on your day-to-day functioning. Anxiety relief is completely possible for you, and you don't have to live in a constant state of worry, fear, or "what-if" thought patterns.
