“Samantha is a great listener. She's compassionate and empathetic.She feels like a friend and is able to offer a shoulder to cry on and a listening ear. I would recommend her as she is a good therapist well suited for me as I like more of my therapy sessions to be a safe place to vent and share my most vulnerable thoughts, feelings and emotions. She doesn't interrupt with unsolicited advice and is all around a great communicator and therapist. 10/10 would recommend.”
