Anxious? Depressed? Stressed?!?

I can help you gain tools to feel better and live the life you want! I work with clients with a variety of issues: addictions, anxiety disorders, trauma/PTSD, sexuality issues, mental wellness for management of depression, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and adjustment to major life transitions and decisions. Proud to serve the LGBTQIAA+ community, Kink/fet ENM, poly, non religious, all walks of life off the beaten path are welcome here.

Please note when booking Tuesday evenings are live in person sessions and all other days are virtual.

Most people arrive at therapy carrying something they've never said out loud. My job is to make saying it possible by being someone worth trusting with it.

I've been a practicing counselor for over a decade. I also teach and supervise the next generation of therapists, which keeps me sharp and current. But experience and credentials aren't what makes the work good. What makes therapy work is that I'm a real person in the room with you: direct when that helps, quiet when that helps more. I will never ask you to do something I'm not willing to do myself.

My education isn't limited to my degrees. My clients have taught me more about resilience, compassion, and what it means to live fully than any program did. I hold that as sacred, and I take you as seriously as I take that.

I am a first-generation, Asian American, queer mental health therapist providing therapy for adults and young adults. I specialize in depression, anxiety, self-worth, family and relationship concerns, identity exploration, life transitions, grief and loss, trauma, and stress. I offer culturally responsive and affirming care for diverse clients.

Hi, y'all,

I bring 17 years of experience and believe firmly that nothing shifts in the therapeutic space unless clients feel seen and connected to their clinician.

I am warm and direct, personable and challenging. I move through my life with curiosity and wonder at the natural world and the power of relationships.

I love swimming in fresh water, non-fiction books, spending time with my teenagers and hanging out in my gardens. I specialize in sexual and gender identity and look forward to building relationships with people that are motivated to move forward, begin healing and expanding their world.

I explore a patient's need for external validation and identify old, negative motivators used to inspire achievement-based goals. I teach self-care and self-regulating practices while modeling healthy attunement. Together, we explore conflict-avoidant behaviors and healthy dependency. Being a highly sensitive person is not a weakness but an empathic strength. I explore the guilt, shame, and fear that cause "analysis paralysis." I analyze unhealthy habits and teach clients to build trust and reconnect with a traumatic body that no longer trusts. You are the expert and I am your guide.

Difficult experiences in our lives can bring up feelings of anxiety, depression, or lack of direction. I aim to help you work through these issues and identify inner strengths to be a happier and healthier version of you.

Hello! My name is Samantha Vamosy and I am so happy you are interested in working together. I know starting a therapy process whether you have before or this is your first time can be scary and uncomfortable. I hope we can work through this time together making this journey as helpful and special as possible. My passions have always aligned with helping others and listening in a compassionate, non-judgmental, and curious way. I find real change occurs when a person can fully explore their life in a holistic way. Whether it is current mental health symptoms or past traumas holistic healing is possible for everyone. I received my Master's in Mental Health Counseling at Fairfield University and achieved my LPC after completing 3000 hours in an outpatient clinic for substance abuse.

What we resist, persists. I understand how difficult it is to make changes in our lives. We all continue to repeat the same patterns in some way. It is natural to want to resist change; however, it is possible to break through the resistance. If you are reading this you have already decided to face resistance. I commend you, and I am here to support you in taking the next steps on the path you have already chosen. You are not alone. We can do this together, no matter what you are struggling with.
