“I’ve had a complicated relationship with therapy over the years- I’ve seen many different therapists, and just never seemed to click. I was beginning to think that therapy wasn’t for me, but working with Sam has really changed my mind. In our first session, she described therapy as a collaborative environment, and it has been just that! She is totally non-judgmental and easy to talk to, and helps me come to my own conclusions. She has a wonderful ability to help me navigate difficult subjects. Also, she truly never forgets a thing! She helps me connect the dots between past traumas and current behaviors, and it has been so helpful (both to me and to the people in my life.) Since starting this chapter of therapy with Sam, I have noticed positive changes in myself, and it’s no coincidence. Could not recommend more! ”

Getting to know Samantha Young

You don’t have to go through this alone. With over 10 years of experience as a social worker and a Master’s in Social Work from the University of South Florida, I offer a supportive, judgment-free space where you can talk openly and truly be heard. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or feeling stuck, our work together will focus on helping you find clarity, relief, and a stronger sense of self. My goal is to help you not only cope, but grow, building tools you can use in everyday life to feel more grounded and in control. I draw from approaches like CBT, DBT, Internal Family Systems, mindfulness, and psychodynamic therapy—but I tailor everything to fit you and your goals. Clients often find my style direct, compassionate, and collaborative. I also bring personal understanding and specialized experience in supporting neurodivergence, trauma recovery, gender identity exploration, sexual positivity and diverse relationship structures. If you’re ready to feel more understood, supported, and empowered, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I believe therapy works best when you feel truly safe and understood. I create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can show up as your authentic self. I see you as the expert in your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you—listening with care, offering perspective, and collaborating with you every step of the way.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I start by creating a safe, supportive space where you can be yourself. Together, we’ll set goals and develop a plan that fits your needs. Therapy is a collaborative process, and we’ll move at your pace, adjusting as we go.

Samantha has been absolutely amazing! I have been seeing her for a few months now and I have been through some of the most challenging times in my life in these last couple of months. While therapy doesn’t fix any of those issues for you it does allow you a place to be free and exhale without any judgement. Samantha has done exactly that for me and has made me feel very comfortable in sharing my life. She seems intrigued and concerned and genuine when speaking to me. While life has been difficult I am very fortunate to have come across her and for her to provide this new outlook of therapy for me and understanding how to give myself grace. With our time together I have cried a lot, shared a lot, and have gotten to release and speak to someone who understands and I can’t ask for more than that. Thank you so much Sam! I would absolutely recommend seeing her!

Therapy is hard work and involves a lot of trust. I was truly lucky when I found Samantha. Not only did I trust her right from the beginning, I learned to trust myself.

Samantha is an empathetic, kind, therapist. She has assisted me through many difficulties in my life and has and always done so with the upmost honesty and respect. I appreciate her level-headed ability through out each session and her open demeanor that makes it very easy to speak to. I would recommend Samantha to anyone who is struggling or has struggled in finding a therapist they felt seen and heard by.

I was so nervous to begin therapy, I have had some therapist in the past I did not love. From the first session Samantha was different. She made no assumptions, I felt no judgments. Samantha also demonstrated a tremendous amount of patience with me. There were so many times I felt I would make progress only to fall back. Samantha helped me understand this, accept it and not be angry at myself when it happened.

More than 1 year agoLE

Samantha is extremally empathetic. She has great insight and has helped me to develop my own insight into the issues I have been working through.
