Female Therapists in Brook Park, OH

Starting therapy can be a scary process. Knowing this, I strive to create a safe and healing environment. I believe we all have the ability to move through/grow through difficult life experiences if provided the right tools. Whether it’s depression, anxiety, a traumatic event, or life transition, I will help guide you through your journey of self-awareness and positive change.

I am passionate about working to connect with clients from all walks of life. I know how difficult finding a balance in work and home life can be, as I navigate being a wife and a mother to an energetic child. With my clients I focus on providing a safe space for each individual to express and honor their voice to help establish and reconnect with each client’s own voice to honor your story and regain a better understanding of self with compassion. I received MS in Counseling &Art Therapy from Ursuline College. In 15 years, including in Cleveland Clinic hospitals, I have been inspired by my clients’ resilience even in dark times.

Acknowledging the need and following through with setting up an appointment for therapy is a difficult first and second step for anyone. I come from a background of empathy and truly believe in forming a trusting relationship is what makes finding a good fit for therapy. My job is to assist in setting goals for developing more self-confidence, having all kinds of relationships, finding support, validation, understanding and working through current symptoms. I have experience from children and adolescents, all the way to aging adults. I look forward to meeting you!

Hello, my name is Sam Lakes, LISW-S. I received my Master’s Degree in Social Work from Miami University/Wright State in 2015 and obtained my Independent Social Work license in 2020, with my Supervision designation in 2022.

Being trained in Marriage and Family Therapy isn't just about working with couples. It is best to state that relationships are my passion. Be it with the self: your thoughts, fears, concerns, spirituality, etc...or with others: a friend, sibling, partner, etc. Whether it's focusing on anxieties, communication, troubling thoughts, trauma, or depression, I founded One Session at a Time to provide an accepting, safe environment for those who want to challenge themselves in their journey toward self growth either on their own or with another.

I believe that being human is a beautifully imperfect experience. Each of us live lives that are filled with excitement, joy, love, sadness, anger, fear and loss. Sometimes it feels like you have it all together, and other times everything feels out of control and painful – perhaps even too much to bear. Your inner world, your relationships with those you love, your work and school lives, even all of society can feel so heavy. The pain can sometimes be manageable and other times feel overwhelming and isolating. The many roles all of us play as a partner, a family member, and a friend can present challenges.

Making the decision to seek help and support can be a difficult step, especially when life is challenging and stressful. Mental health issues and poor relationships aren’t something to be afraid of or ignored but are areas where one can discover hidden strengths and opportunities for growth. I desire to build a trusting support system with you and work collaboratively to find realistic goals for healing. As a counselor, I am genuine and caring when listening and providing support to my clients. I desire to offer hope and encouragement toward healing.

Let's face it, you've been searching for ways to make your life easier & more enjoyable, which is absolutely what I am here for. Whether you are struggling with Relationships, Parenting, Life Transitions, ADHD, Trauma, Depression, Workplace Issues, Grief, etc., I can help you experience some pretty amazing triumphs. Helping you feel safe and empowered, both in and outside of therapy, is just one of the many ways that I can be there for you! I'll even throw in some new-to-you "tools" for you to try out along the way!
