Sam Donham, LCPC, MEd, NCC

Psychotherapist
IL
We all experience challenges or obstacles in life, but sometimes they become too heavy to carry alone. I am passionate about helping people reach their full potential and overcome these obstacles through therapy. My goal in counseling is to empower my clients to make meaningful changes in their lives. I realize that building a trusting relationship is key to therapy being successful. For this reason, I work from a client-centered approach to create a warm, empathetic, and nonjudgmental atmosphere. I aim to be as authentic as possible with my clients so they feel welcome to show up openly and authentically as well. I also recognize that people’s culture and background strongly impact their perspective, so I make an effort to understand my clients’ cultural backgrounds and how those influence their beliefs. I graduated from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign with a BS in Psychology and from DePaul University with an MEd in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois. I have experience working with adults and adolescents dealing with issues related to addiction, anxiety, depression, past traumas, relationship issues, and new life transitions. I utilize a cognitive behavioral approach to teach clients new skills and help them identify unhelpful ways of thinking and behaviors that impede their lives. I also recognize that sometimes people’s thinking and behaviors are not the problems, especially for clients from historically marginalized communities, so I draw from narrative and client-centered approaches as well.
