Getting to know Samer Sayed

My name is Samer Sayed, and I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) and a trained mental health clinician with nearly 4 years of experience in the mental health field. I work with my clients to address relationships, career difficulties, life transitions, anxiety, parenting, school issues, and many other challenges. I completed my Master of Social Work (MSW) at the University of Louisville. As a clinician and social worker, I see my clients up close, especially their environment and how it impacts their lives. This perspective enables me to provide the guidance and support my clients are seeking. My approach is empathetic and understanding, where I always try to meet my clients where they are. I have worked with a diverse range of clients and feel comfortable supporting anyone from 5 to 65+ years old. My communication style is grounded in understanding and listening, while being assertive when the situation calls for it—but never personal. My journey to mental healthcare? Oh, the long or the short version! I started my life trying to find something I truly enjoy. Initially, I worked as an engineer, but after a while, I realized I preferred human connection and wanted to work with others to make a difference in the community. With my Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Louisville and my LISW-CP in South Carolina, I have gained close to 4 years of experience in substance use treatment, individual and couples therapy, as well as family and parenting education. I find this work very satisfying and rewarding, and I truly love what I do. I hope you can feel my energy as a client! My goals for you focus on helping you feel better through goal setting, with special attention to SMART goals. In our first session, everything is positive—I listen for the first 15 minutes as you describe your stress, then we have a conversation about your needs and priorities before discussing goals and expectations for therapy.
