I have had the privilege of collaborating with individuals dealing with a variety of challenges, including complex trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship conflict, eating disorders, and various other mental health conditions that have profoundly affected their self-identity and daily lives.
Therapy is scary, but it doesn't have to be. As a Queer Latinx therapist, I've been where you're at right now, looking to make sense of how you feel, looking for guidance and healing. I have worked alongside and supported individuals with complexities in their lives that have chronic stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as individuals that have been affected by violence in or outside of their home, and those who have been greatly impacted by generational trauma, and community violence. My approach is to meet you where you're at and set goals together to meet your needs.

Common triggers are life transitions like graduation, starting a career, entering a relationship, marking a milestone birthday, experiencing a loss, or retiring.
For more than forty years I have worked as a therapist addressing a broad array of concerns. Forming a solid working relationship is the foundation of all therapeutic change. No matter where someone is in the life cycle, the search for meaning and purpose always remains an essential endeavor. Learning how to take care of ourselves is the task of a lifetime. A shared exploration of the past opens the way to a deeper understanding of the present and inspires hope for shaping the future. My intent is to identify barriers to change, work towards their removal, and engender personal advancement.

Samantha specializes in trauma related work but also has experiences working with guests who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and grief and loss.
Samantha McGlumphy enjoys working with guests who are open to feedback and willing to try new approaches to their issues or struggles. Also, due to her belief that the guest is the “expert” in their own lives, an individual who wants to be an active collaborator in their treatment will strengthen the therapeutic relationship and elicit better outcomes. The most impactful experience of her career path so far has been her exposure and volunteer/mission work with undocumented immigrants. This includes teaching English as a second language to undocumented individuals and traveling to the border to engage in an immersion experience.

Welcome! I’m so glad you have found your way here. Often we get swept up in the competing demands around us and forgo what we need. We can lose ourselves without even realizing it or maybe we never even had the chance in the first place. Before we know it, we are stuck thinking, "Why can’t I seem to do what’s most important to me? What is most important to me anyway?" My hope is that together we can find the way through to heal and create a life you want to live. I think of my role as a guide offering a new perspective. A light in the dark. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, and grief.

I thrive working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief/ loss, attachment, complex trauma, career transitions, relationship challenges, and those affected by Alzheimer's Disease and aging.
I believe the most successful way to achieve personal goals in therapy is by developing a trusting relationship between client and clinician. Taking time to learn a client’s strengths and aspirations, as well as personal and family history with curiosity and compassion is imperative in creating this experience. The foundation of my practice is strengths-based - meaning I approach our work together with the understanding that everyone experiences challenges and has many abilities they can utilize in order to improve the stress and frustrations of daily life.
