Getting to know Samantha Ariza
Are you tired of feeling stuck? Do you feel like you are constantly on watch for the next shoe to drop? You don't have to feel that way. You have come to the right place. There is hope and healing for you. We will sit down together, recognize what is going on, and explore how to remedy it. There are many tools at your disposal to be free from the things keeping you down. Don't hesitate to grab onto the freedom that awaits you.
I use EMDR in my practice. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing harnesses your own ability to heal and move on from the things that anchor us in the past. It uses a set of questions and eye movements to activate this system. Once the process is started, it changes those intense moments and leads to dramatic improvement in your life very quickly.
I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Kean University, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to support you effectively.
Please remember, working together to overcome any obstacle is always better than facing it alone. Allow me to guide you and provide you with the strength to overcome life’s challenges by offering coping skills and resources that will aid you now and in the future.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I am here to help you. My job is to provide the necessary tools and services to assist you in getting to places you felt you couldn't get to on your own. Those places are those of healing, success, and rediscovery of who you are. I provide honest feedback, proven resources, and the tools you will need to bring about that change.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
The first session will be figuring out what has brought you to therapy and a general plan of what we will do in our next sessions. EMDR is a very structured approach so we can go over those steps as well.

Sam is great! As someone who is not very comfortable speaking to others about my feelings I found it easy to talk to her. The ability to meet virtually makes things so convenient. I recommend reaching out to her for help, she is easy to talk to and will provide the support needed.

Samantha is amazing!! I have been in thearpy for many years and Samantha and mines work together has been the most comfortable and productive since I started. She is friendly and informative and always looking for new ways to help. I could not ask for a better counselor, and neither could you.
