SAMANTHA SCHAB, MSW, LCSW

One of the most difficult things in life is to step into the unknown, it is a journey that requires vulnerability and resilience. You may be faced with a major life event or attempting to cope with everyday stressors, no matter what your unknown may be, the therapy process can be a transformative tool to facilitate growth. As a therapist, I am here to support you on your journey. It is my mission to cultivate a safe, open space for us to work towards your goals together. I truly believe therapy is an empowering space that enhances mind-body-spirit wellness, leading to a more fulfilling life.

My clinical experience has focused on supporting clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, self-harm, ADHD, behavioral challenges and relational concerns. Other areas of interest in my practice include OCD, phobias, identity development, and life transitions. I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, adults, and family systems. In a typical session with me, you can expect a collaborative environment, infused with humor, warmth, and creativity. I recognize the individuality of each human spirit, thus I use an integrative approach to best support my clients in the therapeutic process. I have the gold standard of training in OCD and ERP. Lastly, I have been SPACE trained out of the Yale Child Study Center.

I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches including:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy
• Exposure Response Prevention
• Family Systems Therapy
• Mindfulness-Based Therapy
• Play Therapy
• Strength-Based Therapy
• Trauma-Informed Therapy
• SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions)
