Getting to know Samantha Marks
Has traditional therapy not worked for you? While sitting in an office might work for some people, there is no cookie-cutter therapy that fits everyone. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Columbia University and specialize in Terrapy, a mindfulness-based approach that helps clients relax, release physical tension, and connect the mind and body to reach their individual goals-all while enjoying the beauty of nature. Instead of sitting in a therapy office, all sessions take place in scenic locations. Walking side by side rather than sitting face to face allows some clients to feel more comfortable sharing the most intimate and sometimes traumatic details of their lives.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Research has shown that movement, such as walking, helps boost serotonin (the happy chemical in the brain) significantly! Its a simple yet highly effective method of treatment. My goal is to help you get to your goal, in the most productive and fulfilling way possible. Terrapy is a two for one deal! You get an uninterrupted 45 minute session to focus on both your mental and physical health! Terrapy can be for everyone, no previous exercise experience is required. Our walking pace is set by you-this is not a race. If we only take 2 steps in 45 minutes, that’s 2 steps more than you would have gotten on a couch in an office. We are not here to work out. This is only to help enhance therapy and allow for movement to help facilitate the healing process
What is your typical process for working with clients?
This style of therapy is more modern and unique but based in traditional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). We will also practice Mindfulness. I am a strength based- solution focused therapist. I think of mental health and physical health as a joint effort.
Our sessions will always take place in an outdoor setting. Currently, my availability is at Rockland Lake State Park, Congers Lake, The Rail Trail, Nyack Beach or The Pier in Piermont. Where we meet will be up to you and your location. We can also switch up the location each session. Your call! Please note that some locations require payment for parking or for you to be a resident of that town. We can discuss this prior to meeting.

This was amazing, thank you Sam. I didn’t know what I would think about it at first, but getting out of a normal office the size of a closet and in to the real world was just what I needed. You listen to every word and give the greatest advice. I had a wonderful conversation with you, and I’m looking forward to seeing you again next week.
