More about Dr. Samantha Lutz, PhD
My practice focuses primarily on helping patients address relationship issues. Difficulties in relationships often lead to depression, loneliness, anxiety, and the feeling of being "stuck."
My approach is practical and present-focused yet grounded in an understanding of the ways our past experiences may have contributed to our present difficulties. I help patients to explore and work through what gets in the way of them developing the kind of intimate relationships they desire.
I am a Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and an AASECT certified Sex Therapist. In addition, I have completed Advanced Training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy which research has demonstrated to be the most effective treatment for distressed couples.
In my experience, couples often wait too long to seek treatment. If you have concerns about your relationship-- don't wait-- seek treatment today and create the loving relationship you long for and deserve.
