Samantha Bailo

My communication style

I take a curious, collaborative approach. I will meet you where you're at and slow down the process so you can make tangible change. Clients describe my approach as practical and down-to-earth. In our sessions, I will hold you accountable and help keep you on track when needed.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist began as a camp counselor during Grief week and carried on at a horticulture therapy outpatient program, and then also case management. As a person with big feelings myself, my time in therapy as a young adult greatly impacted me in realizing that there's nothing wrong with my feelings.

My goals for you

I like to assess what meeting your goals looks like to you. How will we know when you are making progress? We will explore this question together.

Our first session

Our first session together will be an intake where we explore what brings you to therapy at this time and what you hope to accomplish. I will ask more questions than I usually would to get a better understanding of your background. We will assess if we are a good fit and decide to discuss sessions moving forward.
