I'm Samar Wahid, a licensed mental health clinician trained in several forms of therapy, including CBT, DBT, and EMDR. I work collaboratively with clients to help them explore their lives and relationships and to help them cope with trauma.
I am a marriage and family therapist licensed in Minnesota with a PhD in Psychology, 7 years of experience working as a therapist, and 22 years of experience working as a coach. I have accumulated a wide range of experience working with a diverse clientele. Some of the many issues I have worked with people on are depression, anxiety, self-harm, addiction, trauma, parenting problems, relationship issues, ADHD, sexual abuse, pornography addiction, and anger management.
Many people come to therapy because they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns they don't fully understand. My approach goes beyond addressing symptoms—I support clients understand the root beneath their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we'll explore the experiences, beliefs, relationships, and life events that have shaped the way you see yourself and the world.
I provide a proven mind-body integrated approach that helps adults heal from the impact of trauma, addiction, anxiety, interpersonal problems, self-hate, and more. I am a lifelong learner with vast training and experience in internal family systems (IFS), yoga, polyvagal theory, mindfulness, and self-compassion. I bring a nonjudgmental, compassionate, and open-minded to work with my people.
I have worked in the mental health field for over 10 years, and have experience working with adults, children and families. I earned my Master's degree in 2023 in Clinical Psychology from Bridgewater State University. I have experience with many mental health diagnoses including depression, anxiety, PTSD, psychosis, and personality disorders. I love connecting with women and mothers and helping them to find their joy and peace.
If you've been feeling overwhelmed, lost, or like you're carrying the weight of your struggles completely alone — you're not. And you don't have to be.
As a psychiatric nurse practitioner serving Massachusetts via telehealth, I specialize in anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders. But more than treating symptoms, I'm focused on understanding you — the whole person behind them. My approach is holistic and collaborative, which means we work together to figure out what wellness actually looks like for your life, not just on paper.
Choosing a therapist can be difficult. I like to help my client feels empowered in an affirming environment to meet their needs and goals.
