Getting to know Samantha Marchena

Well, hello there, and thank you for stopping by! I have vast experience working with individuals, mostly to resolve family dynamic situations. I have also interned in agencies that address LGBTQ+ topics and child trauma. I have worked with an assortment of people and consider myself a therapist who brings my authentic self to every session. My approach I want therapy to be more of a brainstorming session with another real person: little to no jargon use, I will be transparent with you, and you will be treated like you are the expert of your life (because you are). My focus You have already taken the first step in taking care of yourself by looking for a therapist. I hope that with my (or, honestly, anyone on this site or in your life) support, you get back to or find your place of safety. So come take a seat, take a deep breath, brace for questions (and a couple of laughs when needed), and let's start the good work. My communication style Direct but warm. I will be transparent with you in the hopes you will be transparent with me. My journey to mental healthcare I started out wanting to become a teacher; however, it was not clicking. My college started its bachelor's in SW program during my sophomore year. I was curious and signed up for an intro class, and it just clicked. My goals for you The consumer sets the goals and pace of the goal. My support will come with brainstorming and checking in with you about the status of your goal. My first session with you I start with summarizing my policies and approach to therapy. Then, we will create a genogram (family tree-like document) together as my cheat sheet, and I will ask you some reflective questions.
