Samantha Hertz

My communication style

I'm not the type to sit back, nod, and ask how that makes you feel. I use an individualized, eclectic approach to fit your needs. Most clients describe sessions as focused, honest, strengths-based, with humor and curiosity. I believe in the power of choice, so while I provide challenges to encourage growth, it's always in collaboration with you.

My journey to mental healthcare

Before pursuing therapy, I studied acting and musical theatre. I know the entertainment world, the struggles with auditioning, perfectionism, rejection, and all the challenges that come with being a creative artist. I pursued this work with the idea that one day I would help others find their own balance and success.

My goals for you

I use a structured, client-centered, collaborative approach to goal setting. I begin with a comprehensive assessment to understand your unique situation and collaboratively establish goals. I emphasize flexibility, allowing for adjustments as needed, and utilize regular check-ins to foster accountability.

Our first session

Our first session focuses on getting to know each other and determining your wants and needs for therapy. We'll gather information, set goals, and explore your reasons for seeking services. I'll also review confidentiality and answer any specific questions you have.
