Getting to know Samantha Contreras

Hello, I'm Samantha. Facing difficult emotional and interpersonal challenges in our lives can be frightening, but it can also be a time for growth and healing. Talking with someone who listens without judgment, understands your concerns, and helps you clarify issues can be invaluable. I am a culturally competent therapist working with various populations, with experience serving adolescents, adults, couples, veterans, those suffering from chronic illness, and those struggling with concerns around sexuality. My therapeutic approach is solution-focused, and I utilize multiple modalities to best fit the needs of both individuals and couples. Evidence-based therapy techniques such as mindfulness-based interventions, IBCT, CBT, ACT, and DBT are utilized to aid in behavior modification. In addition, as part of the therapeutic process, I implement strength-based techniques to address life’s challenges and utilize a faith-based approach when appropriate. I employ a variety of widely researched and effective therapeutic approaches to address symptoms of PTSD, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relational problems, and other life stressors or concerns. My personal and professional life has been dedicated to helping others, and I am truly passionate about my work. My role as a therapist is to support you and to challenge you on your path to self-improvement and self-empowerment. Through a collaborative process, we can explore and address the underlying causes of problematic behaviors, beliefs, feelings, and relationship issues. I have experience working with the full spectrum of emotional and behavioral issues, and together we can begin the process of healing. If you're ready to take the first step towards a more fulfilling life, I am here to help. Let's embark on this journey together.
