Meet Samantha Choudhry, MSE, LPCC (she/her/hers)
Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor

Hello and welcome! Supporting women through the ups and downs of their stress and anxiety is my jam. I absolutely love this work, and I think it's extremely important for you to have a supportive space where you can build an awareness and understanding of what's fueling your stress and anxiety, how exactly your anxiety is showing up in your everyday life, and what you can do about it. I'm a fellow anxious perfectionist, so I truly get it, and when I tell you that I understand, or I hear you, I definitely do. This is why I'm so passionate about this specific area of counseling and why I do this work.  

​

My clients appreciate my warm and inviting yet direct approach. I show up as my authentic self and I am extremely transparent. As a fellow being undergoing my own mental health journey, I seek to validate your experiences by sharing space with you as someone who can truly understand your difficulties. I am an active participant in therapy and I will not tiptoe around your challenges. Your time is valuable and I want you to get the most out of your therapeutic journey.

​

Yes, I have an advanced degree from an accredited college. I even went through several painstaking years of supervision and work experience to gain my professional title—you can read about my credentials and experience below. What is most important for you to know is that I will support and encourage you in a way that works best for your growth and healing process. 

​

In my free time, I enjoy cuddling with my orange tabbies, reading a great belly-laugh book, a strong cup of coffee, exploring the wonders of the world, knitting blankets, crocheting amigurumi, artsy projects, and plenty of sweets.

Evidence-Based Specialties

I am an integrative and holistic therapist. Depending on the concerns I am treating, I may incorporate several evidence-based treatment models into the therapeutic process. There is not a one-size-fits-all approach to healing, so the models I pull from are dependent upon your unique needs and healing process. Here are the most common approaches I use:​

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

• Compassion-Focused Therapy

• Solution-Focused Therapy

• Strengths-Based Therapy

• Psychoeducation 

• Holistic Therapy

​​

As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, I have received specialized training in treating every person as a whole, and I help clients heal by taking the entire human being and their life experiences into consideration for assessment and treatment purposes. The goal is to help you get unstuck, implement the changes you are seeking, and strike a balance in taking care of yourself. 

​

I enjoy working with professional women, high-achievers, young adults, anxious perfectionists, and highly sensitive persons. I'd love to hear from you!
