Samantha Nelums

I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Social and Behavioral Sciences with a Master of Social Work degree in Advanced Clinical Practice. I have been practicing Social Work for over 13 years while working with diverse populations who have experienced a variety of life's challenges. I believe that life's experiences are opportunities for growth so that we can tolerate all of the wild challenges that it throws out at us. Together, we can work together to make meaning of these experiences so that you can achieve your personal goals.

I have seen the most success when working with people who experience family issues, attachment issues in relationships, those who want to heal from past family and relationship trauma, those questioning their sexuality and gender identity (including the complicated family issues and relationship issues that arise for LGBTQIA+ community members), as well as those who struggle with self-trust and decision-making. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (including Trauma-Focused CBT), Bowenian Family Therapy, Written Exposure Therapy that addresses PTSD, and Problem Solving Therapy to address depression and anxiety.
