Getting to know Samantha Barreca

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 3.5 years of experience supporting individuals through life's challenges. My journey into counseling began when I worked as a school nurse, where I noticed many students coming to my office not for physical ailments, but for emotional relief. They sought refuge from stress, anxiety, and the pressures of peer relationships. It became clear that what they truly needed wasn’t just medical attention, but emotional support and coping strategies. This realization inspired me to return to school and pursue a Master’s degree in School Counseling. In addition to my work with children and adolescents, I have had the opportunity to work with adults facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Whether I’m working with a young person in a school setting or an adult in therapy, I use evidence-based therapeutic approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness techniques to help my clients develop coping skills, build resilience, and enhance their overall well-being. I believe in taking a compassionate, holistic approach to counseling. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where clients of all ages can explore their emotions and work towards personal growth. I am passionate about empowering my clients to understand their emotions, improve their relationships, and navigate life's challenges with confidence. I hold a Master’s degree in School Counseling from California University of Pennsylvania, and I am dedicated to supporting individuals as they cultivate healthier, more fulfilling lives. Whether I’m helping students cope with the pressures of school or guiding adults through personal challenges, I am committed to helping each person achieve their goals and improve their mental health.
