Getting to know Sameh Wasfi
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over fifteen years of experience specializing in couples therapy. I integrate the Gottman Method with Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)-two of the most research-backed approaches for helping couples repair, reconnect, and build lasting intimacy. But beyond the science, my work is deeply personal. I've sat in the client's chair myself. I know firsthand how vulnerable this process can feel; the courage it takes to face your relationship struggles head-on; and I also know the transformation that's possible when two people commit to doing the hard work together.
I earned my Master's in Counseling from California State University, Fullerton, and began my clinical work in 2010, originally with a primary focus on children. Early on, I realized that true, lasting change doesn't happen in isolation-it happens in the relationships that shape us. This understanding led me to shift my focus from children to couples, helping them break free from painful cycles, rebuild trust, and create the kind of partnership where both people feel truly cared for and valued. I knew that the greatest gift that can be given to a child is having parents at home who deeply love each other.
Throughout my career, I've worked in diverse settings-from outpatient clinics to correctional facilities. My time working with incarcerated individuals deepened my belief that no matter our circumstances, we all long for the same thing: someone we can trust, someone who loves us, and belonging that gives us meaning and purpose. Between 2012 and 2016, I served as a clinical supervisor for a government-funded program in Massachusetts, overseeing therapeutic services for children, adolescents, and families in underserved communities.
In 2021, I opened my private practice, where I work with couples and individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, infidelity, complex trauma, and addiction.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Working with me means having a warm, nonjudgmental space where you and your partner can explore challenges openly and honestly. I bring 15 years of experience helping couples navigate conflict, rebuild trust, and deepen intimacy using the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)—two of the most effective, research-backed approaches for relationship healing. My style is direct yet compassionate—I won’t just sit back and nod; I’ll actively guide you with tools, insights, and structured strategies to help you make real progress. I know that reaching out can feel vulnerable, but you don’t have to figure this out alone. If you're ready for meaningful change, I’m here to help.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My style is active, structured, and deeply attuned to both partners. I don’t just listen—I guide, challenge, and support you in breaking unhelpful patterns and creating new ways of connecting. Using a blend of the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help you understand the deeper emotions driving conflict, improve communication, and rebuild trust. Sessions are a mix of insight, practical tools, and real-time coaching, so you leave with actionable steps to strengthen your relationship. Whether you need to repair past wounds or deepen your bond, I tailor therapy to your unique needs, always with warmth, honesty, and a clear path forward.
