Getting to know Paul Samms

As an LMFT-LP, I seek to build a therapeutic environment based on collaboration, empathy, and curiosity to help you achieve the life you want to live! Right from the intake session, we will work together to identify treatment goals based on your current needs and build a roadmap to how we will work towards those goals. Many people come to therapy feeling like their emotions are too intense or struggle to understand what they are thinking and feeling. I help my clients gain an understanding about the function of their emotions, what your emotions are communicating, how the environment influences your inner world, and how they can manage difficult times through practical coping skills. The more you understand your thoughts and emotions and why you may be experiencing them, the more capable you'll be to deal with the stressors and challenges of life! Throughout our work, we will develop a strong rapport based on trust and authenticity as we work to develop self-awareness, explore your patterns, and better comprehend you show up in the different areas of your life. My goal is to have my clients leave therapy feeling empowered, better equipped to deal with life’s ups and downs, and be able to lead a life of fulfillment and meaning, in spite of the pain and hardships. I earned my Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Manhattan University. I have experience in working with individuals and couples from BIPOC communities. I invite all my clients to approach therapy with me as a science experiment, as a we try out new mindsets and skills that may improve your overall quality of life from a growth mindset.
