Getting to know Samuel Woldemichael

I have deep respect and admiration for any person willing to seek improvement in a therapeutic environment. I was born in Ethiopia and raised in Maryland. I have worked as a counselor/therapist since 2004 and have had great success working with people to improve their quality of life. My approach My approach to therapy is to treat each person as a unique individual with potential to improve emotional health. Oftentimes, emotional injuries such as abandonment, betrayal, injustice, rejection, humiliation and loss can cause long term damage, preventing us from experiencing peace of mind or joy. Similar to physical injuries, emotional injuries My focus My ideal client is ready and willing to look inward. Therapy is not a passive process where I provide all the answers. The most progress is made with clients who are curious about their own internal world—their thoughts, feelings, and the stories they tell themselves—and who are motivated to understand how they contribute to their own experiences. My communication style Compassionate, transparent, and honest. My journey to mental healthcare My journey began during childhood, living in Ethiopia, and witnessing the damage of unhealthy emotional distress. It continued throughout my teenage years in the USA, witnessing many friends suffer from depression and anxiety. Subsequently working in the substance abuse and mental health field since 2004. My first session with you In the first session, my clients can expect a combination of compassion and competency. Building a rapport is essential during the first session, and it's not something that can be faked. It has to come from an authentic desire to listen, be present, and assess without bias.
