Professional statement

Samantha Piro is a licensed professional counselor in Rochester, MI, who works with couples and individuals 16+. She specializes in anxiety, trauma, life purpose, and relationship issues. Samantha enjoys working with clients who have an interest in their overall health and wellness as this plays a role in mental health.

Samantha's approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, and holistic-based. Each person is a unique individual and therapy is tailored towards each person's needs and preferences.

Message to clients

Going to therapy can be very difficult and even scary. It can be challenging to not only find a therapist that you connect with, but also a therapist that you deeply trust. As a therapist, I do my best to create a space for you to feel safe and heard. It takes courage to open up and be vulnerable with another person. I am honored to be a person that can hold this gentle space as you explore who you are and who you would like to be in the world.

I welcome traveling with you on your healing journey. I look forward to hearing about your world and how I may be a place of support for you.
