Professional statement

My name is Samantha Crooks and I'm an Associate Clinical Social Worker (ASW 116435) and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst; I provide therapy under supervision of a licensed therapist.

I implement individualized treatment utilizing both psychodynamic and behavioral techniques. I have extensive experience treating adults of various ages and diverse backgrounds, and I am committed to providing culturally responsive and inclusive care. I primarily apply techniques of cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and behavioral skills training. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, and I will work with you to customize treatment to your unique challenges and strengths, helping you manage life's stressors.

In my spare time, I enjoy playing music, baking, and photography, and I'm passionate about incorporating clients' interests into therapy so that treatment is tailored to personal needs, goals, and preferences.

I look forward to the possibility of working with you in the therapeutic process, guiding you from a space of adversity to one where you can truly thrive.


Message to clients

I understand that beginning the therapeutic process can be difficult, so please feel free to message me with any questions you may have. Additionally, I am available for free 20 minute phone consultations, and would love to speak with you about the possibility of working together and answer your questions. Hope to hear from you soon!
