Book a therapist or psychiatrist in New Hartford, NY covered by United Healthcare

I'm ready to help you get started on your journey!

I received my masters in social work from Adelphi University. I worked as a social work director for a number of years previously but I stopped because I really preferred more face to face time with my patients. I got so much more from my time counseling than being in a management position. Over my 22 years as a social worker, I've come across many people with diverse issues and truly have enjoyed all of my experiences as they helped form the person I am, the therapist I am. Much of my experience is working with anxiety, depression, bereavement, couples counseling, life transitions, stress management, cancer and chronic illness counseling, palliative care counseling, caregiver support and community resource and referral.

People always tell me that I'm a good listener. This is my greatest accomplishment and one I'm most proud of because as your therapist I want to HEAR you. I want to join you in your pain or difficulties and help you find your way through them. I may not have experienced what you have specifically gone through or are facing now, but I know how to find my way in to how you are feeling. Building a therapeutic rapport with you will be my first step. Trust needs to build and then most of my work is generally solution focused and cognitive-behavioral techniques. You will see that I am a caring, non-judgmental person. I would love the chance to help see you through your challenges. You've taken the first step!

I am an experienced Mental Health Counselor with an international background in clinical psychology and research. I am deeply committed to provide help during difficult phases of a person's life journey. I specialize in working with adults navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, identity crisis, and bereavement. I am also experienced in working with couples and the specific challenges they encounter in their relationship.

My approach is unusual because I've worked in large variety of settings. My experience as an executive coach enables me to help people with career issues, relationship dynamics and life transitions. It also means I'm not afraid to give advice. My experience working with young adults has given me a different view on life transitions, and the ability to guide people when they're afraid and feeling unprepared for what life is throwing at them. I'm passionate about my work, and I bring all of my life experience and my decades of clinical training and practice to each client relationship.

I am Samantha Motie, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with four years of experience supporting women through the unique challenges of motherhood. My work focuses on young mothers, single mothers, and individuals navigating perinatal mental health, including pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, and the emotional transitions that come with this stage of life.

I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can feel seen, heard, and supported. I understand that accessing therapy as a parent—especially with young children at home—can be challenging, so I strive to make the process as adaptable and inclusive as possible. Whether that means flexible scheduling, virtual sessions, or creating space for the realities of parenting during sessions, I aim to meet clients where they are without judgment.

Deciding on a therapist can be a daunting experience; I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience. I provide psychotherapy services via video and phone sessions. I have always known there was a need for high-quality mental health providers. Therefore, I focus my clinical practice on providing high-quality services and evidence-based interventions to my clients. I have treated many clients with a variety of diagnoses including: addiction, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, PTSD and attention deficit disorder.

I have a strong passion to help people, and truly believe in each individual’s strengths and abilities. Some of the treatment modalities used are Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a Strengths-Based approach in an unbiased and non judgmental manner.

I have realized that when we understand our strengths and have developed them we are able to improve and or have a better quality of life. Sometimes we do not understand that a crisis can affect many different areas in our life and recognizing and acknowledging it is the first step in our journey to healing.
