I'm a therapist with twenty-two years of experience. I specialize in working with adults. I provide support and encouragement to all of my clients. I want my clients to feel seen and heard. I believe that healing is possible for everyone who is seeking it. I aim to help all my clients recognize their self-worth and increase self-esteem and resilience. I've worked as a clinical coordinator and clinical supervisor. In addition to being a contractor at Grow, I own a counseling practice Phenomenal Woman Counseling LLC.

Hi, I’m Samantha Czaja, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) providing therapy for children, teens, and adults ages 5 and up. I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from Fordham University and have been practicing since 2019. I have worked in diverse settings including schools, community clinics, an Extended Day Treatment (EDT) program, outpatient care, and crisis work. These experiences have allowed me to support individuals and families from varied cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. My trauma-informed and culturally responsive approach is grounded in the belief that therapy is a collaborative space where your voice guides the journey. I specialize in helping clients manage ADHD, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, substance use, and family-related challenges. Whether you are navigating difficult family dynamics, processing loss, or seeking support for yourself or your child, I tailor our work to your unique strengths and goals. My approach combines warmth, honesty, and practicality. I use evidence-based methods including solution-focused therapy, strengths-based work, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing. Through skill-building in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness, we work together to develop tools that promote resilience and lasting change. Having supported families extensively, I understand how relationships impact well-being and strive to create a safe and respectful environment for healing and growth. Reaching out for support is a brave step. I am here to walk alongside you with empathy, insight, and encouragement.

Hey there! I am a clinician who just lives it one day at a time and I am probably the most diverse and accepting of them. I find myself good in parenting dilemma, coaching, men's issues, issues for those with economic hardships and college students or those at roads of turn pathways, truly those to be changed by the work we put in. I am person and a mother, I am imperfect and still learning to run this online so bear with me. I am a great learner and have only my best intentions to you all! Life is a series of transitions, and no one should have to navigate them alone. I provide a warm, inclusive environment for individuals of all ages—from children and teens finding their voice to geriatric adults honoring their legacy. My Specializations Include: Grief, Loss, & Life Transitions: Providing compassionate support for adults and seniors navigating the physical and emotional shifts of aging and bereavement. Holistic & New Age Modalities: Integrating spiritual anchors and "higher power" concepts into clinical treatment for a truly mind-body-spirit approach. Trauma Recovery: Expert care for survivors of narcissistic abuse, domestic violence, and toxic stress. Family & Youth: Parent coaching, child-interactive therapy, and support for teen-specific challenges (LGBTQ+ friendly). I operate with deep cultural curiosity, ensuring that your identity and beliefs are the foundation of our work. Whether you are seeking tools for ADHD and panic attacks or a safe space to process deep-seated trauma, I offer flexible weekday and weekend scheduling tailored to your needs. I have worked in the past at places such as Community Mental Health and for substances abuse treatments. Children’s and teens inpatient, and at St. Mary’s Home ARTS clinician.
