Samantha Lobenstein

My communication style

As a therapist and as a person, I live and work through values of honesty, transparency, and compassion. I practice radical candor, ensuring a balance of empathy and directness guides my work. I use humor and levity at times, but will sit in the darkness with you and hold space for your hardest moments. Silence can give space for growth.

My journey to mental healthcare

My decade of experience supporting clients in residential, PHP, IOP, and OP + leading other clinicians in their approaches to care has molded me as a provider. As a human, I have been in recovery for an eating disorder for almost 15 years. I'm a mom of two, live with ADHD, and have experienced anxiety, trauma, caregiver stress, and loss. I see you.

My goals for you

I operate from a skills based lens, blending CBT and DBT informed approaches. I am highly trauma informed, trained in EMDR and somatic work, and use an Internal Family System lens. I aim to help clients develop and practice the tools and skills that will help them feel more regulated, grounded, and connected to peace in their day to day.

Our first session

We all have a story and the early chapters impact what we understand in the later ones. I believe it is important to start from the beginning to understand the whole story in order to identify the best ways to help in the present. We will explore where you are today, how you got there, and start to identify how we can get you where you want to go.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
