Getting to know Samantha Nunez

I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental, and affirming space for all adolescents 12+ and college age adults (18-25) in Illinois. I come to every session with a warm and empathetic energy, always inviting them to come as they are. I do this through empathetic listening, validation, and support. I tailor the therapeutic work based on the strengths and needs of the clients I am supporting, and I bring a client-centered and strengths-based approach to each therapeutic relationship. I have experience in working with clients who struggle with anxiety and depression and need support in coping with daily stressors and transitions.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I like to incorporate tools such as meditation, mindfulness, and gratitude into my practice. I also like to incorporate components of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Supportive Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I offer individual therapy only to 12+, and 18-25. I do not provide family therapy. I am a firm believer that everyone could benefit from therapy. No matter the reason, having a safe space to explore, process, and cope with life’s experiences and the emotions that are tied to them is helpful in creating a healthy and balance life. I look forward in working with you!

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In my virtual therapy sessions conducted via Zoom, I take a client-centered approach, meeting each individual where they are emotionally and mentally. I create a supportive, nonjudgmental space through active listening and thoughtful validation, ensuring clients feel heard and understood. I also incorporate mindfulness and meditation techniques when helpful, offering tools to support emotional regulation and grounding. Whether someone is processing deep emotions or simply needing space to reflect, I aim to build a collaborative and compassionate relationship that respects their unique pace and journey.
