Getting to know Samantha Grimes
Hi! My name is Samantha Grimes, and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master?s in Counseling Psychology from Argosy University. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, addiction recovery, and relationships. I am also trained in EMDR and Brainspotting.
My approach
I use attachment-based therapies, psychodynamic theory, and cognitive behavioral therapy. I approach problems through a trauma-informed, person-centered lens, which means we explore how your current situation might be influenced by old narratives and past experiences, helping you move forward with compassion and authenticity. I incorporate humor and creativity into my practice.
My focus
I tend to work best with people facing anxiety or panic attacks, mood disorders, people-pleasing tendencies, intellectualizing, trauma, eating disorders, addiction, and those seeking deeper, more meaningful relationships with themselves and others.
My communication style
I am warm, compassionate, and curious. I will guide you through the process, ensuring you feel safe and supported. I will challenge you to consider different perspectives, laugh with you, curse with you, and create a space where you can sort through it all and fully show up authentically. You will walk away with tangible skills and strengths.
My journey to mental healthcare
I was always the friend everyone turned to for advice or to confide in. I have long been curious about relationships?those with ourselves, our bodies, our vices, the world, and others. I am endlessly fascinated by the mind and how the body stores trauma. My work is driven by compassion and a passion for seeing people grow and heal.
My goals for you
You need to be steering this wheel. We will work collaboratively to create goals that are realistic and tangible for you.
My first session with you
I will gather important information to understand what brings you to therapy. We will discuss the changes you are looking for and simply get to know each other.
