SAM SHABSIN, MSW, LSW

I have experience working with clients of all ages. While I am happy to work with everyone, I am passionate about helping children, teens and young adults through the joys and challenges that those years bring. I incorporate empathy, humor, authenticity and respect into my work in order to build a warm, caring environment for my clients.

I have clinical experience working with and treating anxiety, depression, the stress that comes from having ADHD, low self-esteem, body image issues, family challenges, relational issues, grief and loss, trauma and life transitions of all kinds. I utilize evidence based practices including:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Trauma Informed Therapy
• Strengths Based Therapy
• Play Therapy
• Sports Therapy
• Solution Focused Therapy
• Motivational Interviewing
• Family Systems Therapy

I am bilingual in both English and Spanish and have utilized both clinically.

I became a therapist because I love to support people through tough times in a warm, kind and supportive manner. I look forward to working with you.

Sam is in network with Aetna & BCBS PPO
