Getting to know Samantha Skirka

Hi, I’m Samantha! I’ve been a clinician for over twelve years and truly love what I do. I’m passionate about helping clients tap into their strengths, overcome challenges, and move toward the life they want. My background includes working with people of all ages in schools, juvenile justice, and long-term care settings. As a mom, I know how rewarding—and overwhelming—life can be. I bring that real-life perspective into my work, along with compassion, curiosity, and a sense of humor. Outside of work, I enjoy audiobooks, organizing (it’s therapeutic for me!), and family time. Fun fact: I have a degree in Philosophy and studied Japanese in high school! I specialize in working with women navigating the challenges of life and motherhood, including those experiencing postpartum depression or anxiety, as well as those seeking support during pregnancy or preparing for labor, delivery, and the postpartum period. I also work with clients dealing with general anxiety, depression, life transitions, identity exploration, or grief and loss. **At this time, I am only accepting clients who identify as female.**
