Pnina Samuel LMHC, LPC
Specialty: Anxiety, Relationship Concerns, and Self-Esteem
Welcome. I am a licensed therapist practicing in New York and New Jersey with over five years of clinical experience. I work with individuals who are navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, addiction concerns, parenting stress, and difficulties related to motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. My goal is to help clients gain deeper insight, develop effective coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change in their lives.
My Approach
My work is collaborative, thoughtful, and tailored to each individual. I use an integrative therapeutic approach, drawing from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), EMDR, and psychodynamic therapy. This allows me to address both present-day challenges and the deeper patterns that may influence them.
I strive to create a supportive, respectful space where clients feel understood and empowered. I am mindful of each person’s cultural background, personal values, and life experiences, and I integrate these elements into the therapeutic process to ensure treatment is both meaningful and effective.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit
for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want
to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be
that person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you
and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals
and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you
will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and
behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear
understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to
trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also
important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important
to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as
exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be
willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different
techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important
to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
