Samantha Landry Smith

My communication style

I strive to keep sessions based on clear, open communication and empathy to create a supportive environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences without shame or fear. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient.

My journey to mental healthcare

Throughout my life, I have found that the work that I have done that has been the most rewarding has always come from helping others. I was drawn to deepening my understanding and skills to better help others with emotional and social challenges. I find it incredibly rewarding when I am able to help people.

My goals for you

I believe that therapy should be both healing and empowering, and should be done as a partnership. With years of experience and advanced training in EMDR and other modalities, I believe that I can partner with you to set goals and work towards achieving them. You don’t have to go through this alone - I’m here to help.

Our first session

Our first session will really be centered around getting to know one another in a relaxed and “talk story” kind of way. I’d like to know more about what brings you to therapy and what you would like to focus on. This could change with time, so we will keep the conversation ongoing when it comes to possible goals.
