Samantha Sutfin, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Samantha!

I help people live a more authentic, aligned, and healthy life. I work with those who come from challenging backgrounds and environments, and I feel a special connection to trauma work.

My focus

I work with people from challenging backgrounds and environments, and I have a particular focus on those affected by trauma.

My approach

I use a person-centered, relational approach with the understanding and patience that therapy is often a slow and steady process. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

My communication style

My style is person-centered and relational. I approach therapy with understanding and patience, recognizing that change is often a slow and steady process.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have spent many years trying to understand how trauma affects our behaviors and livelihood, and I feel a special connection to trauma work.

My goals for you

I believe that with willingness, we can make the changes necessary to live a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Our first session

I understand that therapy can be scary for those who are not familiar with the process. I hope to assist you in your journey toward the changes you want to make.
