I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) with a decade of clinical experience supporting individuals through some of life's most difficult challenges. I earned my Master of Science in Clinical Professional Counseling from Central Connecticut State University, with specialized training in addictions recovery, mental health, and rehabilitation. Throughout my career, I have worked with a wide range of clients across diverse and often high-stakes settings. Most recently, I spent seven years as a Licensed Professional Counselor at Garner Correctional Institution, providing individual counseling, group therapy, and crisis intervention to justice-involved adults navigating complex mental health needs, trauma, and reentry challenges. Prior to that, I served as an Outpatient Therapist at Farrell Treatment Center, where I helped establish a new Intensive Outpatient Program and delivered trauma-informed, gender-responsive care to individuals struggling with substance use and co-occurring disorders. My earlier work with the Brain Injury Alliance of Connecticut and the Hospital for Special Care deepened my understanding of how neurological, behavioral, and emotional health intersect. I work with men, women, teenagers, and young adults of any gender, race, religious background, or sexual orientation who are open to learning new skills and committed to meaningful goals in therapy. Clients often come to me seeking support with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the lasting effects of adverse life experiences. Drawing on evidence-based approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, I tailor treatment to each client's strengths, values, and goals. I am committed to providing a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where every client feels respected, heard, and empowered to create meaningful, lasting change.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been a social worker for 15 years. I've worked with active duty, veterans, aging adults, kids, adolescents, couples and individuals over the course of my career. One thing that has remained constant regardless of who I've worked with, is that we all have had to combat anxiety or depression at some point. For some it has been a life long struggle, while for others there was life situation that brought those feelings on. I enjoy working with clients who are seeking strategies to manage their anxiety and depressive symptoms, because I've seen when they learn these strategies they're able to use them consistently for the other issues life brings.

Do you find yourself constantly worrying or overthinking every possible outcome? Do you feel like you must prepare for the worst just to feel in control? Maybe you struggle with uncertainty, fear making the wrong decision, or feel like everything has to be done perfectly. Anxiety can leave you feeling restless, exhausted, and stuck in patterns that affect your sleep, your relationships, and your peace of mind. Life transitions often bring us into what can feel like “stormy waters.” As Viktor Frankl wrote, “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” I specialize in helping those suffering from anxiety, including health care professionals and veterans. You don't have to continue suffering. As a seasoned therapist, I can help you feel empowered to stop the cycle of worry and anxiety, find your sense of purpose, and reclaim your life.

You’re trying your best—but fear, anxiety, or overthinking keeps getting in the way. You're feeling weighted down, bottling up emotions & ignoring those empty feelings. You're feeling blocked, stuck, and numb. You're consumed with worry, overthinking, & your mind is racing with a rollercoaster of emotions. You're starting to drift further & further away from your family and friends. You're exhausted from all the worry, panic, and anxiety. You can't sleep & your head hurts from the overthinking about all the "things" you need to do or can't do. When you do sleep, you wake up feeling tired, in a bad mood, and dreading the day. Fear sets in that you're about to lose everything, even the people closest in your life. You're trying so hard but fear sets in, and then frustration 'this is not the life I want!'

Healing is a powerful and personal journey-and it begins with feeling seen and understood. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of experience, I blend CBT, solution focused work, supportive therapy, and strength based approaches to help you build insight, emotional stability, and long term confidence. My approach is helping clients identify the barriers that leave them feeling stuck and guiding them toward meaningful change. My goal is to support adults through life transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety, burnout and identity shifts.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 12 years experience helping people navigate anxiety, stress, trauma, and life transitions. My style is supportive, practical, and real; I believe humor and a little bit of sarcasm can sometimes help make tough conversations easier while we work toward meaningful change. Therapy should feel approachable, honest, and focus on real life growth.

Holding space is the practice of providing a safe and supportive environment for someone to express their thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment or interruption. It involves being fully present and attentive, allowing the other person to explore their feelings and navigate their own process. My 20 years of experience have allowed for a diverse background of traditions and practices that clients can implement in their personal journey. I value transparency in the therapist/client relationship.

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.
