Getting to know Samantha Gellert

We offer out of network benefits and partner with Thrizer to make accessing reimbursement simple and convenient by helping clients understand and use their available out-of-network benefits. Navigating depression and ADHD as a tween, Samantha started therapy before it was cool. Through her own experience as a client, she discovered how transformative therapy can be, inspiring her to help others find greater clarity, self-understanding, and growth. Samantha earned her bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan and her master's degree from New York University. She works with adults, including college and graduate students, supporting clients through anxiety, depression, identity, relationships, burnout, life transitions, self-esteem, and neurodivergence. Outside of therapy, Sam enjoys pilates, reading, caring for her plants, and game nights. She brings warmth, curiosity, and genuine care to every session.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Samantha does not believe in being a "blank slate" therapist. She believes meaningful therapy is built on trust, authenticity, and feeling genuinely understood. She brings her authentic self into the room while creating a supportive space where clients can openly explore their experiences and challenges. Clients can expect a therapist who is warm, engaged, and collaborative. Samantha works alongside clients to build insight, recognize patterns, strengthen their relationship with themselves, and create meaningful, lasting growth.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Samantha begins by understanding your story, current challenges, and goals for therapy. Together, you'll identify what feels most important to explore and develop an approach tailored to your needs. Drawing from IFS, DBT, CBT, and psychodynamic therapy, Samantha combines practical tools with deeper self-exploration to help clients build insight, develop new coping skills, and create lasting change.
