Dr. Samantha Mathews, PsyD

Dr. Samantha Mathews, PsyD

Psychologist
OH
I enjoy working with teens and adults, especially those who have experienced intense pain and struggled with their identity. Individuals who have experienced trauma, engage in self-harm, have ADHD, and/or identify as LGBTQ+ bring a lot of emotional depth to sessions which can be channeled into growth. One of my favorite parts of being a therapist is watching a client own their story in a way that helps them find fulfillment in life. I draw from my extensive training in DBT and mix it with internal family systems and emotion-focused therapy.

Getting to know Dr. Samantha Mathews

I enjoy working with teens and adults, especially those who have experienced intense pain and struggled with their identity. Individuals who have experienced trauma, engage in self-harm, have ADHD, and/or identify as LGBTQ+ bring a lot of emotional depth to sessions which can be channeled into growth. One of my favorite parts of being a therapist is watching a client own their story in a way that helps them find fulfillment in life. I draw from my extensive training in DBT and mix it with internal family systems and emotion-focused therapy.

What should a new client know about working with you?

In my work with my clients, I strive to practice radical genuineness, meaning I work hard to connect with you as a real live person. To do this, I share pieces of my life such as my interest in drawing or Dungeons and Dragons, parts of my identity including being a transgender person with ADHD, and how I feel in the room, as in if I feel sad or excited about something we talk about. I have found that being present and transparent with my clients has helped me foster trust and build relationships which have led to feelings of belonging and experiencing meaningful change.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

During our first session, we will get to know each other. First, I will briefly introduce myself so you can get a feeling for who I am as a person and provider. Because you are the expert on your story, I will want to learn what brought you in and what you're hoping to get out of the therapy. I very much see our work together as a collaborative process, so we will work together to set what the focus on treatment is and how to address it. In terms of my vibe in the room, I'm rather warm, accepting, and offer a lot of validation. I balance that openness with being direct and behavioral interventions. My favorite quote is from Maya Angelou: "Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better." I hope to help you recognize that you're doing your best, figure out how to do better, and then put that into action.
