Getting to know Samantha Keiser
From the outside, it may look like you have everything under control. You're responsible, capable, and driven. But beneath the accomplishments, your mind rarely slows down. You're constantly thinking about what's next, replaying conversations, second-guessing decisions, or feeling guilty when you try to rest. I specialize in working with driven young adults and professionals struggling with chronic anxiety, perfectionism, and self-imposed pressure. Many of my clients feel exhausted by overthinking, overwhelmed by expectations, and frustrated that success hasn't brought the peace or confidence they hoped for.
Together, we'll work to quiet the constant mental noise, build self-trust, and create a healthier relationship with stress and achievement. Therapy is about helping you understand what's keeping you stuck and developing practical tools to move forward with greater clarity and confidence. My approach is collaborative, down-to-earth, and LGBTQ+ affirming.
Many clients begin therapy feeling overwhelmed by pressure and responsibility. Over time, they often find themselves carrying less emotional weight, responding to challenges with greater confidence, and creating a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside. If you're ready to stop carrying it all alone, I'd be honored to connect.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I work with clients within California and Oregon via telehealth. I help adults who are socially withdrawn and struggling with self-confidence or self-esteem achieve greater self-worth and the ability to take action toward their goals and values so that they can step confidently into adulthood and live aligned with their true potential without feeling pressured or judged.
Life can feel overwhelming at times—whether you’re adjusting to a new role, facing uncertainty, or dealing with persistent worry. You don’t have to navigate it alone. I offer a supportive space where you can slow down, reflect, and begin to make sense of what you’re experiencing.
My approach is client-centered and collaborative. I believe therapy works best as a partnership—one where your voice is valued and your experiences are respected. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you and identify practical, realistic tools that align with your lifestyle and personal goals. Because no two individuals experience stress or anxiety in the same way, I tailor each session to meet your unique needs.
I strive to create a safe, welcoming environment where you can show up as your authentic self. My goal is to help you gain clarity, strengthen coping skills, and build the confidence needed to move forward with intention. Therapy isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about creating space to grow, heal, and take meaningful steps toward the life you want.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin identifying the goals you’d like to work toward in therapy. It’s completely normal to feel nervous about your first appointment, and we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Therapy is a process, and meaningful change takes time. We’ll take it one step at a time, building a strong foundation and deepening our work as we go. My role is to support and guide you through each stage of that journey.
You can expect a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment where you feel safe, respected, and free to openly share your thoughts, emotions, and concerns.

More information on payments and coverage
I believe in being transparent about the financial side of therapy so you can make the best decision for your circumstances.
There are two options available. I take several insurances (listed below). Or there the self-pay option, which allows us to focus entirely on your goals without the constraints often set by insurance companies. I will share resources such as, Thrizer, to help utilize Out-Of-Network Benefits if that is something you want to utilize while in the self-pay option.
