Our specialties
Experiential/Bottom-up Therapy Experiential therapy is any kind of therapy that brings us into an experience instead of talking about the experience. That means we’re processing it from the inside and embodying these things as we work through them, instead of talking about them from an outside, analytic perspective.
Attachment Trauma Our early experiences of primary relationships can shape the way we feel about ourselves and others. We can help you understand how your attachment history impacts you, and learn how to create secure and healthy attachments in the present.
Family of Origin Everyone needs to deconstruct their upbringing. We’ll help you make sense of your life growing up and how it shapes you today.
Identity Exploration
Sometimes we need a therapeutic space to understand ourselves and learn how our experiences and families shape who we are.
Complex PTSD
People with C-PTSD experience frequent distress and impaired daily functioning due to hypervigilance, flashbacks, and avoidance of trauma reminders. Although Complex PTSD can take a while to treat, it is treatable.
Anxiety & Depression
So many of us struggle with anxiety and depression—it's common, but it isn't easy. It's our goal for you to feel better and eliminate suffering at its roots!
Testimonials
“
As a therapist, Sam demonstrates a level of care, competence and presence that far surpasses a clinician of his age. He has attention to the professionalism that ensures his clients will feel safe. I have had the pleasure to collaborate with Sam and would not hesitate to recommend.
—Rob Slavis, LCSW
“
Sam has a way of connecting with my adolescent and young adult patients that helps them feel safe and comfortable, so they are able to transition through difficult periods. As a board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist, it has been a pleasure collaborating with Sam. I like that we can easily communicate with each other about our mutual patients and that the parents of my patients are happy with the progress their children have made.
—Shelly Riley MD
