Samantha (Sam) Bauer, LCPC

Hi;  I’m Sam, and I might be your new therapist! It is difficult to  prioritize your own needs, but you are taking the first step just by  finding my profile. No matter what you are coming to therapy for you are  putting yourself first. Together we will work towards continuing to  prioritize yourself and your needs. I value collaboration, patience,  communication, and empathy in the therapeutic relationship to establish  trust and safety. We will discuss different perspectives; identify  unpleasant emotions; challenge unhelpful thinking patterns; process  previous experiences / trauma; and much more during our time together.


I  have clinical experience working with individuals in areas including  anxiety, depression, trauma, grief/loss, life transitions, school  difficulties, and challenging relationship dynamics. I  utilize a person-centered approach, so you are leading the therapy  session while I gently guide. I realize this approach is not for  everyone, so I am as directive as you need! In the therapy space, I aim to help create a welcoming environment where you are free to be yourself.


Outside  of the therapy room, I'm typically lounging on the couch with my two  dogs; working through my to-be-read list; and hanging out with loved  ones.


Can't wait to see you in the (virtual) therapy room!
