Professional statement

Sam is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Indiana and Florida, dedicated to helping men overcome anxiety and self-doubt. With experience supporting individuals of all ages in various mental health settings—including five years in inpatient care—Sam understands the unique struggles men face when it comes to self-esteem, confidence, and emotional well-being.

Specializing in evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Sam helps clients develop practical skills to manage anxious thoughts, build self-worth, and take control of their lives. He believes that therapy is a partnership—one where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to work toward meaningful change.

Sam knows that many men hesitate to seek help, whether due to societal expectations or personal doubts. His goal is to provide a nonjudgmental, supportive space where clients can be themselves, explore their challenges, and build the confidence to move forward. He firmly believes that every individual has strengths waiting to shine and is committed to helping his clients discover them.

For men struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, or uncertainty about their path, Sam offers a compassionate and results-oriented approach. He is ready to help clients take that first step toward a more confident and fulfilling life.


Message to clients

If you’re considering therapy, I know it can feel like a big step—especially if you’re not sure what to expect. My goal is to make this process as comfortable and beneficial for you as possible.

In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other. I’ll ask about what’s bringing you to therapy, what challenges you’re facing, and what you hope to get out of our time together. There is no pressure to have all the answers or know exactly where to start—I’m here to guide the process at a pace that feels right for you.

As we continue working together, we’ll identify specific goals that are important to you. Whether it’s managing anxiety, improving self-esteem, or navigating life’s challenges, we’ll use evidence-based techniques to develop practical strategies that you can apply in everyday life.

Therapy is a collaborative process. I’m not here to judge or tell you what to do—I’m here to help you see things from different perspectives, challenge unhelpful patterns, and build confidence in yourself and your decisions. Some sessions might be focused on problem-solving, while others may involve deeper self-reflection. No matter what, you’ll always have a space where you can be open, honest, and heard.

Taking this step shows strength, and I’m looking forward to walking this path with you. If you ever have questions or concerns along the way, I encourage you to bring them up. Therapy works best when it’s tailored to you and your needs.
