Samantha Zarou

Samantha aims to create a strong therapeutic relationship with her clients and create a non-judgmental and safe environment. She looks to help clients acknowledge, explore and process their emotions, thoughts and behaviors, create a deeper awareness and understanding of themselves, and ultimately develop self compassion and positive change. She works collaboratively with clients to identify both helpful, and unhelpful patterns or areas for potential growth in their lives, create goals for themselves and improve in these areas at their own pace.

Samantha currently holds a limited permit in Mental Health Counseling. She has her Bachelors of Arts in Psychology and Masters Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Her approach mainly draws from the psychodynamic method, while incorporating some CBT and mind-body relaxation and mindfulness skills in order to work with the nervous system and acknowledge the body's role in healing and mental health. She always aims to provide a culturally competent, safe space. She strives to work with the mind, body, and nervous system to create healing that addresses both the past and present. She primarily works with adults, and supports diverse communities, including women, neurodivergent individuals, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and first-generation Americans.
