Samantha Tatum

My communication style

I am open, accepting, strength-based, solution-focused, and very compassionate. I love people, I understand love and pain, and I want clients to be better to themselves and feel better inside and out. My specialty in grief and end of life allows me to go deeper and not be fearful to discuss the untalkable.

My journey to mental healthcare

People have been a passion of mine, along with helping others. What better career than providing therapy?

My goals for you

Typically, within the first few sessions, I will explore goals with you and determine what you want to focus on and areas for growth. Building mastery will be done collaboratively, taking goals into bite-sized, manageable chunks. Progress is reviewed periodically and celebrated; we are all doing the best we can and can do better.

Our first session

If you have never been in therapy, the first session goes over what to expect, rules, and allows us to get comfortable. The first session will be an intake where I will typically be gathering information about you, addressing challenges and areas of strength, and asking what your goals for therapy and our work together are.
