From The Ground Up Counseling Services, LLC

Welcome to From the Ground Up Counseling Services! Seeking mental health services? I would be honored to help you in this journey! Finding a therapist can be challenging, and I want to make the process feel comfortable and effortless. I can help you get your life back on track or even help you build the life you’ve always wanted. In this partnership, you will let me know your goals and I will give you the tools to help achieve them. Trust is a key element in any healthy relationship, and gaining your trust is where I would like to start. A little about me: My name is Samantha and I am a NJ licensed counselor. I have been working in the mental health community since 2016. I graduated from Stockton University with my B.S. in Psychology and Rider University with my M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. My therapy style is an eclectic combination of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Informed Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy. I have experience working with individuals suffering with anxiety, depression, OCD, mood swings, irritability, panic attacks, impulsivity, trauma, poor sleep hygiene, unhealthy eating patterns, grief & loss, hopelessness, suicidal ideation, self-harm, ADHD, perinatal mood & anxiety disorders (including pregnancy loss), and more. I have an extensive background working at a Partial Hospitalization & Intensive Outpatient program where I worked with individuals on stabilization and increasing coping skills. I have now taken my advanced mental health knowledge and pursued Traditional Outpatient where I continue to educate & provide support to my clients. Reach out to me when you’re ready and I would be happy to ease your worries and answer your questions. I look forward to hearing from you!
