Hello! I have been working with kids, teens and adults for over 10 years. I can help with issues around anxiety, ADHD, OCD, relationship issues and grief/loss. I operate from a ACT model incorporating mindfulness and ERP for OCD and anxiety.
Hello! I'm so excited that you are here. Welcome to the start of something new! My name is Samaria Witherspoon, but I’m commonly known as Sam. I am an author, professor as well as the founder of Hidden to Healing, LLC providing individual, couples and family counseling to those that are struggling with trauma, anxiety, overall life satisfaction, depression, aggression, grief, substance abuse, and behavioral and emotional issues.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have worked for over twenty-five years with adolescent, adult, and senior adult clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, grief, and burnout.
Hello and welcome! If you're feeling anxious or disconnected from yourself, I'd be happy to support you on your counseling journey. I work with adults and children in navigating family transitions like divorce or co-parenting, healing from emotionally complicated or absent parent relationships, managing relationship and dating patterns, identity development, and building healthier connections. I'm a dedicated master's-level therapist with expertise in EMDR, REBT, Solution-Focused, and Gestalt therapy. As a certified 200-hr RYT, I integrate yoga and meditation to enhance healing, balance, and well-being.
I’ve been trained extensively in EMDR. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a therapeutic approach designed to help individuals process experiences. It works by engaging bilateral stimulation, such as side-to-side eye movements and tapping leading to reduced emotional impact and improved mental well-being.
My practice extends to navigating the complexities of childhood trauma, offering support for both emotional and physical well-being. Additionally, I provide a compassionate approach to help you overcome life's challenges. Let's work together to build resilience and create positive change in your life.
I specialize in supporting individuals, couples, and families who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. Many clients come to me during chapters of life that feel confusing or chaotic. Together, we slow things down. We work to understand what's driving the pain, identify what you truly need, and develop practical skills to move forward with confidence and clarity.
My clinical background includes addiction counseling, family dynamics, grief work, trauma-informed care, and supporting clients who have experienced unstable relationships, emotional dysregulation, or long-standing stress. I provide a non-judgemental environment where honesty is welcomed, growth is supported, and you don't have to pretend to be ok.
Therapy with me is active- we talk, plan, reflect, and practice new ways of thinking and coping. You will always leave the session with insight, direction, and support you can apply to everyday life. If you are ready to start healing, reconnect with yourself, and build healthier relationships, I'm here to walk with you. Reach out to schedule a consultation.
Some things sit at the intersection of your body, your history, and your identity all at once. Chronic illness that no one takes seriously. Fertility struggles that feel isolating. Postpartum experiences that do not match what anyone told you to expect. The grief of a life chapter ending. Most therapists are not trained to hold all of that. That is exactly where I work.
I am Dr. Crystal Holt, a Licensed Professional Counselor with a doctorate and sixteen years of experience working with adolescents and adults. I bring a cultural fluency and lived awareness into the room that credentials alone cannot teach. I work with anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic conditions, infertility, maternal mental health, and the full, complicated range of what it means to be a person navigating a world that does not always slow down long enough to let you heal.
Welcome! My goal is to partner with families to help clients live happy, healthy lives. Whether you've experienced side effects from medication or haven't seen the progress you hoped for, I'm here to work with you toward a solution.
Finding the right medication is only part of the picture — truly understanding what's happening in your life matters just as much. That's why I incorporate brief, solution-focused therapy into every visit and make a point of staying in close communication with your other providers.
As a child and adolescent psychiatrist, I have extensive training and experience treating ADHD, anxiety, depression, and a range of other behavioral health challenges. I also enjoy working with young adults in their twenties who are navigating the unique transitions and challenges that come with that stage of life.
I have a special interest in women's health — particularly during the perinatal period and menopause — as well as the unique needs of healthcare workers.
I am passionate about being able to help clients learn to help themselves. Often times, we aren't equipped with the tools and knowledge to move through life's challenges. I specialize in helping my clients heal from underlying traumas that continue to cause distress, while also treating current symptoms of anxiety and depression. I hope that each of my clients feel validated, supported, and valued. I am inspired by seeing my clients begin making necessary changes in their own lives to improve their overall wellbeing.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology as well as a Master's Degree of Social Work. I began to work in this field as a foster care case manager. I have since gained 15 years of clinical experience among various outpatient and inpatient treatment settings. I specialize in treating PTSD, Anxiety, and Depressive Disorders.
Are you feeling stuck and unsure of your next steps? Struggling to focus and make decisions? Overwhelmed by daily tasks? Feeling anxious and constantly worrying?
