Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Clifton Park, NY covered by Cigna

I view therapy as a collaborative and transformative process, where the therapist and client work together in a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.

My work centers women and queer adults who wish to soften after life has tried to harden them. I specialize in working with folks who are:

• healing painful patterns
• building healthier relationships
• processing grief & loss
• navigating chronic illness/stress
• working through difficult family dynamics
• unmasking
• connecting with their identity
• exploring the impact institutional/personal trauma

I am a queer, gender non-conforming person. I use they/she/he pronouns. I’m Puerto Rican & Italian and I identify as mixed race. That identity affords me a whole lot, while also leaving me feeling quite lost at times. I move through the world in a body that has chronic illness and is dynamically disabled. I think it’s important to take these experiences and translate them into my work when appropriate. I am not affiliated with any religious institution, though I did grow up Catholic. I live by my principles, and am deeply passionate about social justice, food, culture, and sweatpants.

Both in clinical settings and in my personal life, I have been described as principled, observant, quick witted, dedicated, soft, direct, whimsical, rebellious, and genuine.

I have 8 years of nursing experience working with children as young as 6 years and older across inpatient and outpatient settings. Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, ODD, bipolar and psychotic disorders are some of the areas I have expertise in.

I graduated from Hofstra University Nurse Practitioner Program and was recognized for The Academic Excellence Award for outstanding clinical and academic performance.

Hi, I’m Dr. Samoya Henry-Pierre-Louis, a licensed clinical social worker and therapist who is passionate about helping individuals heal and grow. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and families, particularly those navigating trauma, anxiety, and major life transitions. My approach is warm, supportive, and practical, while also being direct, honest, and goal-oriented. I use a Christ-centered lens in my work and welcome clients who value incorporating their faith into the healing process.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and one of the most important things to me is creating a space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. I know that reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating, especially when you’re not sure where to start or what to say. You don’t have to have everything figured out before coming to therapy—that’s something we can work through together.

I specialize in helping adults struggling with parenting and other issues including: addiction, anxiety, trauma, depression and codependency. If you are overwhelmed and frustrated get in touch with me. l will help you with resources, tools and strategies.
