Samara Counseling Services
About
Our mental, emotional and physical wellbeing are critical needs that are often overlooked, "dealt with," or pushed to the side. When we do seek help, often our mental wellbeing, emotional health and physical experiences are compartmentalized and treated as separate entities. Being regarded as a whole person and including all parts of our experience is essential to improving our health and wellbeing in all areas of life.
I formed Samara Counseling based on the belief that people should have more access to mental health services beyond traditional office settings and approaches. I am trained in a variety of therapeutic modalities, including EMDR, somatic-based psychotherapies, and ego-state therapies that aim at integrating a person's various experiences of self into a conceptualization and treatment that addresses parts of their experience that cause distress despite efforts find relief. As an integrative practitioner, I can work with other trusted providers that care for you so that you can experience a cohesive, team-based approach in the care of your whole self.
Individual Psychotherapy
Individual therapy within an office-based or virtual setting. My office is located in Hales Corners. Sessions can flow between virtual or office-based depending on your preferences
Outdoor Therapy
Individual or family therapy located in outdoor settings. My office is located near the trails of Whitnall Park and Boerner Botanical Gardens. I am available to meet you in other outdoor spaces, based on your preference.
Forest Therapy
Individual and Group Forest Therapy offered by an ANFT-certified guide. Forest therapy is a research-based alternative therapy for enhancing mental health. This structured form of engaging with nature has proven to reduce anxiety and depression, as well as restore attention and concentration.
