“Samantha is so encouraging and understanding. I have great trouble opening up to most people, including loved ones, but I felt right at home with her.”

“I had my doubts about therapy, but I’m glad I stuck it out until I found someone that was a good match for me. Sam legitimately changed my life. I went from self-loathing to able to accept myself from my past to my flaws to see myself compassionately and cut myself a break when I mess up without thinking I’m an awful person anymore. Her ability to understand me helps me better understand myself and why I feel and act the way I do. This knowledge helps me consciously choose what I want from my life outside of what is expected of me. When someone so wholeheartedly believe in you, it starts to rub on to you and you start believing in yourself. This just makes life so much easier and I thank Sam so much for helping me get to this place.”

Getting to know Samantha Wong
I’ve worked with clients to address a broad range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, and multicultural challenges. With my training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I have supported my clients in healing from trauma and helping them develop their own tools to cope. As a career changer from the finance sector, I understand the deep connection between work and mental well-being. I specialize in helping clients work through challenges like work dissatisfaction, complex trauma, perfectionism, people-pleasing, codependency, and low self-esteem. My approach is strength-based, culturally sensitive, and personalized to honor the unique narratives and needs of each client. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Baruch College and a Bachelor’s degree from Brown University.

Sam is a truly thoughtful and caring therapist. She really takes the time to understand my perspective and what I am hoping to get out of therapy. I feel like she really sees and understands me as a person/client and genuinely wants the best for me.
