Getting to know Samara Sory

Hi there, I'm Samara! Hello, my name is Samara Sory, and I am an LCSW, Army veteran, and graduate of California State University, Stanislaus, where I earned my Master's in Social Work. My area of expertise is working with individuals dealing with depression, PTSD, stress, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and coping with new diagnoses. My approach I use strength-based and solution-focused approaches to assist clients in gaining awareness of their experiences while helping and guiding them to find fitting outcomes and coping mechanisms. The modalities I utilize during sessions include CBT, ACT, and DBT. My focus I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, and Veterans. I find comfort in treating clients who suffer from stress, trauma, anxiety, and depression. My communication style My goal and passion are to create a judgment-free zone where clients can be open, honest, and speak about their worries and concerns while growing. I want clients to use this therapeutic relationship to grow, meet goals, and become the best version of themselves. My journey to mental healthcare I am a combat veteran and found it hard to integrate back into civilian life, which drew me to becoming a therapist. Helping others help themselves has always been my passion. My drive comes from those who have helped me and given me the energy and passion to help others. My goals for you I believe each client plays a big part in setting their goals and expectations. The goal-setting approach I use is client-centered and focused-each client is the driver of their own car, and I am there as a guide to assist when needed. My first session with you The first session is where we begin to build our therapeutic relationship. In this session, my goal is to understand your life challenges and your expectations and goals for treatment. I hope each client leaves this session feeling comfortable and confident about what is yet to come.
