Samantha Friedman

My communication style

My communication style is warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental. I strive to create a space where you feel safe enough to bring your whole self and know that you are accepted just as you are. I like to think of myself as your guide, providing psycho-education and intuitive hunches that will help you connect to your inner knowing.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to become a therapist started with my own healing journey. I found hot vinyasa yoga to be the best medicine for regulating my nervous system, and I wanted to share this with others, so I started teaching yoga. I became fascinated with the mind/body connection and went to school to study body-based therapy.

My goals for you

Goal setting is a collaborative process, one that we will co-create together in our first sessions as we get to know each other. We will talk about the goals you have for yourself and how you will know if our work together is helping you achieve those goals.

Our first session

I know how difficult it can be to start therapy. It can feel really daunting to find a therapist you trust. In our first session, we will spend time talking about what you are experiencing and how therapy can support you. I will listen, ask questions to help understand the best way for us to move forward, and answer any questions you have for me.
