“Samantha is incredible. It was my first time receiving therapy, and she was beyond comforting and helpful. I recommended her to a family member who’s been seeing another therapist, and she is now going to Samantha full time. So whether you’re a first timer or have been to therapy before, Samantha is a great option for candid, yet comforting advice. ”

“I seriously can’t thank her enough. I was dealing with so much anxiety, overthinking everything, and just feeling super low all the time. It was starting to get in the way of my job and my relationships. From our first session, she made me feel comfortable and like I wasn’t being judged at all. I actually felt understood for once. I am so much better after such a short time :))”

What is your typical process for working with clients?
In our first session, we will talk about what brought you to therapy and what you are hoping to get out of it. There is no pressure to open up all at once. We will go at your own pace.
Sessions are conversational and relaxed. You may choose what you want to talk about during each session, and I am here to guide you, offer support, and help you make sense of things. I will utilize the necessary tools that fit your needs and goals. I do my best to make sure therapy does not feel stiff or clinical. It is a laid-back space for you to talk openly, laugh, cry, vent, and just be yourself! Sessions are a judgement free zone! The goal is for sessions to feel more like a real conversation than a formal appointment. Please feel free to show up as you are and we will figure things out together!

Samantha really made me open up during my visit. My anxiety has been really bad post-graduation and I struggled acclimating to adulthood after college. She was easy to talk to and felt like she really heard me. I felt a weight lifted after our session. I’m excited to continuing seeing her!

I highly recommend going to MIP! They were attentive, understood my needs and how I need to handle my anxiety. Nothing worse than feeling alone in your own anxious thoughts and Samantha was a huge help in understanding how I felt, how I can manage these thoughts and what my goals are. Thank you!!!

I have severe anxiety from what I believe to be childhood trauma. I have trying to work thru this emotion for some time now alone, but it’s only made things worse. Meeting with Samantha was not only revitalizing, but a necessity. She was so patient and allowed me to speak freely which already has calmed me down. Samantha’s ability to navigate my emotion to get to the root of the problem was really eye opening and I am excited for my next session in a few weeks. Thank you again Ms. Chierchio !
