Psychiatrist

I am a board-certified psychiatrist who provides medically-oriented treatment for depression, Bipolar Disorder, anxiety, and Attention Deficit disorder. I pride myself as using non-addictive medications as much as possible. As a physician (MD) with a background in psychology, medicine, and neurology, my care is above average compared to providers without this background.

My approach is laser-focused, precision medication management. In addition to my clinical expertise, I mentor medical students, residents, and fellow providers. I am an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the Frank Netter School of Medicine. I plan to use all my clinical skills to help people achieve the maximum improvement in mental health.

Hello! My name is Samantha Vamosy and I am so happy you are interested in working together.

I hope we can work through this time together making this journey as helpful and special as possible.

As a licensed clinical social worker with a master’s degree from The National Catholic School of Social Services, I bring extensive experience from my work in university-based teaching hospitals and ambulatory care clinics. My practice focuses on supporting adults and their caregivers through challenges such as anxiety, depression, complex medical conditions (acute and chronic), medical trauma, loss, grief, and significant life transitions.

I have a specialization in guiding individuals and their caregivers through the cancer journey, encompassing every phase—from diagnosis and treatment to recovery, survivorship, and end-of-life care. I have also worked extensively with patients undergoing stem cell transplants, CAR-T and immunotherapy.

My training and experience also includes helping individuals manage disorders of the brain-gut interaction. Support, education and strategies address the connection between the mind and gastrointestinal health. Recognizing that everyday stressors can greatly affect your well-being, I adapt my clinical approach to suit a variety of life situations, always tailoring care to meet your unique needs.

Together, we focus on strengthening self-trust, setting boundaries, and creating a mindset that supports lasting change. As a therapist and mindset coach, I combine evidence-based tools with forward-focused coaching to help you move from awareness to action — and build the confidence to trust yourself again.

As a clinician, I enjoy working with everyone in all phases of life helping in building self-esteem, managing addiction, trauma, self-discovery, medication management, anger management, re-establishing one's dreams/purpose, building/strengthening relationships one has with self, partners or family systems.

I have worked with foster children, young adults, primary care staff and patients, those who struggled with substance abuse in a methadone clinic, provided supervision to non-licensed social workers in the hospital.

I welcome the opportunity to meet with you for a consultation to see if working together would be a great match like a grilled cheese or peanut butter sandwich.

Best of luck on your journey to health and wellness.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Stamford

Searching for therapists in Stamford starts with finding the right clinical fit for what you want support with. Therapists may specialize in concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare options, look for a Stamford therapist whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience match your needs. Provider bios can also help you identify approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy.

Stamford has local therapy options across areas like Harbor Point, Turn of River, Springdale, and nearby Fairfield County communities, but appointment availability can vary by office location and schedule. Virtual therapy can expand your options if you want more flexibility or have limited access to an in-person therapist nearby. When narrowing your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can show how each therapist describes their approach, session structure, and communication style.

Therapy in Stamford can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. You can browse therapists in Stamford, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
