Samantha Chiariello
(She/Her/Hers)
Psychologist
Sometimes the only way out is through. I help overwhelmed adults overcome daily life struggles.
I look forward to meeting students and fellow Illini grads! Together, we will develop a customized treatment plan to achieve your personal goals. We will maximize your strengths and rehabilitate any weaknesses that may be interfering with daily functioning. This may involve improving time management and organization. We will build your confidence in managing stress and identify ways to improve relationships. I will provide a supportive environment that encourages hope and strength. Online video sessions are conducted from the comfort and convenience of your own home. If you will be out of state for college or travel, please visit our website for a list of the 40+ eligible Psypact states where I am credentialed to provide telehealth. Call today to begin!
