Samantha Newton

Hey! I'm Samantha, a licensed therapist. As a virtual anxiety therapist, I treat counseling like self care. So in the first session, we'll discuss your history and goals. In the following sessions, we'll talk about what's gone on in the past week and then decide what specific thing we are going to work on. Occasionally, we'll work on heavier things, like the stuff you’ve never said out loud or feels uncomfortable to say out loud. Being in that space is where some of the best progress happens. In other sessions, we are talking about what's going well for you and try to figure out what is working so that you can keep it up! Therapy can be heavy, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun or interesting too. If you saw an Instagram post or TikTok that perfectly describes your experience, let’s watch it together and process it. If you went to a party with friends and are feeling good about your outfit, let’s work on continuing to build your confidence up. I want therapy to be a great experience for you! You should feel comfortable, heard, and understood when you leave the room. You can say no to someone without feeling guilty. You can learn how to be nicer to yourself and find your identity. You can get to a point where you feel more comfortable with yourself, both physically and mentally. You can make a decision and feel good about it, without spending hours or days overthinking it. In therapy, you can learn tools and techniques to help you be your ideal self.
