Getting to know Samia Elshafie

IMPORTANT: Thriveworks cannot provide services to clients with Medicaid coverage. If you have Medicaid, please contact your plan directly to find an in-network provider. For all other insurance plans, Thriveworks will verify your benefits after you book through Zocdoc. If verification isn't completed before your visit, you'll be charged our self-pay rate of $240 for that session. AFTER YOU BOOK: Complete these steps to avoid cancellation or being switched to self-pay. 1. Check your email for instructions to set up your Thriveworks account. Within your Thriveworks’ account, sign consent forms and add a valid credit card, which will be automatically charged for copays, fees, post-insurance balances, and self-pay amounts. 2. If using insurance, upload clear photos of the front and back of your insurance card. 3. Expect a confirmation call from our team to verify your information and answer questions. CANCELLATION POLICY: Provide 48 hours advance notice to avoid the $135 late cancellation fee. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 9 years of experience working in the mental health field. I completed my Master's of Social Work at Boston College. I am passionate about assisting clients in identifying and utilizing their strengths while developing additional insights and skills to address life's challenges and appreciate moments of joy. I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient mental-health settings and specializes in depression, anxiety, major life transitions, grief, and trauma. I draw on multiple treatment approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness and self-compassion to help clients appreciate their strengths, develop additional coping skills, and hold onto hope. I am here to meet you where you are at and support you along your journey.
