Getting to know Samika Wheat
Hi there! I'm SaMika.
Many people see therapy as a one-sided conversation in which the ?expert? talks to you and tells you what to do. What is the joy in that? I find joy in working with other experts to create solutions to great change-and guess what? You are the expert on you. I believe one of the bravest things someone can do is work to understand their own story. Whether it is healing from the past, managing the present, or preparing for the future, with a collaborative, holistic approach, I want to help you achieve whatever life changes you desire to live the life you feel you deserve. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Louisville, which has equipped me to support you on this journey. Seeking a therapist can be a bit intimidating, but you have already taken the first step! I hope you will take a moment, reach out, and see how I can help. Let's work together!
What should a new client know about working with you?
I provide a safe space with a collaborative approach. I love to integrate talk therapy, art, mindfulness practices and yoga to strengthen one's health and wellness holistically.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
