Hi, I’m Samantha Parsons, a Licensed Master Social Worker. I empower individuals to navigate their life’s challenges, heal trauma, and achieve emotional wellness. I provide compassionate, culturally informed, and integrative care through Somatic Movement and Mental Health Therapy, which aid in the treatment of trauma, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, chronic illness, and physical issues.
To enhance my clients’ mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being, I use a combination of talk therapy and holistic tools such as dance, movement, breathwork, and mindfulness. I am specially trained in Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).
I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work from the Southern Connecticut State University, as well as a Master’s in Liberal Studies focused on Gender, Feminist Studies, and Movement Analysis. I am also an activist and advocate for Human Rights, social justice, and indigenous causes shaped by my upbringing in South Africa. I look forward to working with you!
