Find a Therapist in United States

I am a mother, a healer, an ally, a CrossFitter, Jewish-American, CIS-gendered, queer woman. I am exposed to both privilege and marginalization and although I do not have shared experiences with all intersectionalities, I offer an unconditional curiosity that allows for a safe and transformative space. I am direct, compassionate, relational, ethical non-monogomy/poly-friendly, trauma-informed, BIPOC allied, sex worker friendly, LGBTQIA2S+ allied, and spiritual... just a flavor of what you will get with me.  

I am privileged to be a Long Island psychologist, working with both individuals and couples that have challenges in their lives. If you struggle with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, addictions, and more, my personalized approach will enable you to take steps towards a successful future.  

It can be intimidating to walk the path of change, but I would be pleased to support you and walk beside you. I work to establish a secure and judgment-free environment for my clients' therapy experience as a bilingual therapist!  

Unmet expectations, promises unkept, breaches in trust, hurt feelings, and failed bids for connection. These add up over many years; and eventually our once-robust marriages land us in the roommate zone. "We just lost each other in the busy -ness of life." Does any of this sound familiar? You are not alone! I have used The Gottman Method to successfully help clients skillfully tackle the hard conversations, rekindle that spark, and then maintain the closeness that we felt way back when we first fell in love and just knew that our partner was "the one!"  

Has pain from a chronic illness or from dealing with daily life immobilized you? Are you always anxious or depressed? Counseling can help you to address, understand and resolve these issues to reach your full potential. Call or email today for a free phone consultation or an appointment.   

I offer compassionate but direct support to assist with managing life's challenges. I offer a calming environment and tone to allow my clients the space to feel as safe as possible for them with the goal of creating alternate thoughts/behavior to reach the agreed up on treatment goal.  

Have you been feeling anxious, unsatisfied, or uncertain? Is there something in your life that once worked, but now doesn't? Many people come to therapy while continuing to meet the demands of work and family, even though they feel an increasing sense of strain or disconnection. So even if you are used to handling such things on your own, some emotional or relationship patterns keep repeating, underneath the surface. I work especially well with thoughtful, capable adults who want to understand themselves more clearly. Together, we can slow down and look carefully at what’s happening—how your thoughts, emotions, and relationship patterns developed, and how they may be shaping your present life. Greater understanding often brings real relief and steadiness.  

Are you attempting to manage feelings that have been building up over time? You may be living with anxiety and depression, generally feeling stuck, and/or are trying to manage the personalities of people around you. Perhaps you aren’t quite sure how to talk about what’s happening; but something doesn’t feel right—things just feel off. During times like this, talking to a professional can help. I work with young adults, parents, college and graduate students including international students. I have niche specialized experience working with medical professionals such as physicians, nurses and medical trainees.  

Hello, I have 14 years of experience in helping people change and improve their experience. I love helping people and I am so grateful to have found this profession. I am encouraged and inspired daily by significant changes and improvements I see with the people I help. My approach is meeting you wherever you are in life and really focusing on gaining an in-depth understanding of you. I want to focus on understanding your experiences, motivations, perspectives, emotions, struggles, and circumstances. I want to know you at the most core level. I believe that process will lead to greater self-awareness and through that self-awareness we can begin to find areas that you have control to change. The changes made will create a different, better experience for you. I understand this concept is simple, but difficult to make happen. So, I will focus on building a collaborative plan and strategy to make it easier and more attainable. We will focus on facing fears, accepting things outside of our control, and gaining intention into where we have control. We will focus on ways of thinking about situations and finding helpful perspectives. We will focus on ways to control behaviors and begin doing more of what we want and less of what we don’t. This will create a better emotional experience, but we will also learn how to manage and tolerate difficult emotional moments. My goal is to create a place where you feel understood, supported, and encouraged. A place where things become clearer, and you feel more confident and in control. A place where you know seeking truth will be a priority because that is the only way to grow and become stronger. I enjoy helping people with any issue they are experiencing, including anxiety of all kinds, depression, addiction, PTSD, trauma, relationships, co-dependency, boundaries, spirituality, motivation, self-esteem, and grief. I am a Christian but have been an atheist and agnostic in the past, so I am very open to all viewpoints and enjoy working with people of any faith or lack thereof. I will adjust to you. I have had a wonderful marriage of 13 years and have always had a passion for understanding what makes a relationship healthy. I have 2 kids, 10 and 6, and have learned much about parenting. I spent a long period of time in the corporate world and worked my way up to director, so I understand and have gained perspective into that world and what it is like to be successful in it and then what it is like to get out of it. If this message speaks to you, contact me today and let’s begin a life changing experience and relationship.  

Therapist, meaning-maker and someone who helps thoughtful people untangle the patterns that keep showing up in their lives and relationships.  

Samantha Wright is a non-licensed Christian counselor and coach whose mission is to help people encounter Jesus and walk in His resurrection power. Her passion for this work flows from her own powerful testimony of transformation. After spending many years battling depression and struggling with codependency, unwanted same-sex attraction, addiction, destructive behaviors, and deep despair, Samantha encountered the redeeming love of Jesus Christ, who rescued her, restored her, and made her a new creation. Because of this personal journey, Samantha carries deep compassion for those who feel stuck, broken, or hopeless. She is passionate about helping others encounter the healing love of our triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—and believes that no one is beyond the reach of God’s grace. Through Christ, she believes true healing, freedom, and transformation are possible. Samantha holds a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice with a concentration in Social Work from Southeastern University and a Master of Arts in Pastoral Counseling from Liberty University. She also has experience as a substance abuse counselor, walking alongside individuals seeking recovery and freedom from addiction. In addition to her professional experience, Samantha has spent the past several years serving as a healing and deliverance minister through Christian Healing Ministries, receiving training in healing prayer and spiritual freedom. Samantha creates a safe and compassionate space where clients can process their stories, encounter God’s healing presence, and grow in their identity in Christ. Her heart is to help people overcome past wounds, discover their God-given purpose, break free from destructive patterns, and step into the abundant life God created them to live.  

I believe good therapy is more than symptom management. It’s about helping people understand themselves more honestly, develop greater emotional awareness, and build a life that feels more grounded, connected, and authentic. Many of the people I work with feel stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand — anxiety, shame, compulsive behaviors, emotional disconnection, relationship struggles, or cycles of secrecy and self-criticism. Often, these struggles are not simply about “bad habits” or lack of willpower, but about deeper emotional and relational dynamics that have never been fully understood or addressed. My style is warm, direct, thoughtful, and engaged. I aim to create a space where people can speak openly about subjects that are difficult to discuss elsewhere, without feeling judged, dismissed, or reduced to a diagnosis. I believe meaningful therapy requires both compassion and honesty: the ability to understand pain without losing sight of accountability, growth, and change. I have particular experience helping individuals and couples struggling with compulsive sexual behavior, pornography addiction, betrayal trauma, intimacy difficulties, anxiety, shame, and trauma-related issues. I also work extensively with clients from religious and culturally sensitive communities, where these struggles often carry additional layers of secrecy, fear, and isolation. Therapy can help people move from surviving on autopilot toward living with greater clarity, presence, integrity, and connection — both to themselves and to the people they care about most.  

My approach is direct, compassionate, and collaborative. I believe therapy should be a safe space where you feel heard, supported, and able to see real progress. Together, we will identify barriers, develop tailored strategies, and work toward hope and resilience.  

I strive to understand your story—not just your symptoms—and to partner with you in creating a plan that aligns with your needs, values, and goals. To heal, we need to feel safe, heard, and empowered. You don’t have to navigate this alone. I’m here to walk with you, support you, and help you rediscover hope, strength, and stability on your path forward.  

Clients often tell me they feel truly heard, understood, and empowered after our sessions. My goal is for you to walk away with renewed hope, practical skills, and the belief that lasting change is possible—no matter where you’re starting from. I bring a creative, accessible perspective to therapy. I blend mindfulness, neuroscience, and the latest in mental health research to help you reframe challenges, build resilience, and move toward your goals with confidence.  

If you've tried traditional therapy in the past and didn't get the results you wanted, you've come to the right place. I am trained in non-traditional, integrative and holistic methods and I have found that "just talking" is the slowest way to do therapy. My areas of expertise are addictions, trauma, and anxiety though I have lots of clients struggling with relationship conflicts, divorce, and loss of a loved one as well. My goals are to help clients gain insight, connect with themselves authentically, heal from past traumatic experiences, and live more fully in the present moment. Reaching out for help is a sign that you want a more meaningful life and know that you deserve it. I look forward to crossing paths with you when you are ready. I offer a free 30 minute consultation to see if we are a good fit so please contact me today to get started! I offer in-person sessions primarily and only do telehealth when in-person truly isn't an option. My experience is that telehealth has not been nearly as effective as in-person sessions for the type of therapy modalities I offer. I look forward to meeting you in person so I can best support you in achieving your goals.  

Life has a way of leaving us feeling disconnected from what truly matters, whether you're navigating major transitions, overwhelming emotions, or patterns that persist despite your efforts to change them. The expectations others place on you might feel at odds with who you really are, creating a sense of being stuck or moving through life without direction. In our work together, we'll create space to examine the underlying beliefs, recurring struggles, and unmet needs that influence your daily experience. This process goes beyond surface-level problem-solving—we'll explore how awareness can translate into meaningful action, helping you develop practical tools for navigating challenges while making choices that reflect your authentic self. I approach this work with curiosity and respect, trusting your capacity for growth as we uncover what's been holding you back and identify concrete steps toward the life you want to create.  

Are you feeling overwhelmed by daily stress, anxious thoughts, or reminders of your traumatic memories? Struggling with anger or relationship conflict? Feeling stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts and unhealthy behaviors? Life's struggles can feel isolating but you don't have to face them alone. It would be a privilege and an honor to accompany you on your mental health journey. I'm a licensed psychologist with over 18 years in the field. I have expertise in the treatment of PTSD, trauma, and stress and in the understanding of veteran and military culture. Other areas of specialty include anxiety, phobias, panic, depression, insomnia, and addiction. I work with teens and adults, as well as the spouses, partners and family members of those struggling. I also have extensive experience supporting veterans, first responders, and medical and mental health providers. Whether you've been in therapy before or are ready to take the very first step towards healing and growth, I would love to hear from you.  

I am a great fit for people who: a) need to be functional for work; b) feel more comfortable with an informal professional style; c) know they need to do "the work" but aren't sure where to start.  

Stressed? Irritable? anxious? overwhelmed? angry? I get it. Whether its quarantine, traumatic experiences, or just LIFE that's left you feeling like you are unraveling, I got you. Achieving inner peace and freedom from the pain and discomfort that you feel is possible. I offer you evidence-based holistic psychotherapy techniques that help you heal, restore and renew. My office is a safe place for you to tell your story and receive heartfelt listening, acceptance and compassion? However, it is also a place where I can teach you techniques to re-balance when you feel emotionally flooded and disconnected. Healing doesn't even have to begin with tirelessly and painfully pouring over the past if that's not what you want. My guess is that you have already been doing that with limited results. Healing can begin with learning how to rewire your automated stress response so that you can start feeling better and more at ease right away! It is my passion and purpose to help you to discover the parts of yourself that you really love and transform the parts that keep you stuck. I believe in your inherent ability to heal and am dedicated to supporting your in connection more deeply with that ability. Some of the methods I integrate into sessions are Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Integral Psychotherapy, yoga, dance and other somatic processing techniques, mindfulness training, meditation, visualization, breath work, shamanic practices, Energy Medicine, Exposure Therapy, gestalt methods, Narrative Therapy, and EFT. I can help you heal from traumas and anxiety through a holistic somatic therapy approach that returns you to inner peace and confidence. Give us a call to schedule a free 20 minute phone consultation!
