Welcome. I have learned that no one theory works for everyone. By utilizing different therapeutic approaches I help you achieve practical and lasting results. Together we can make the necessary connections in order for you to achieve a greater self-understanding.

While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve the current challenges in your life.

Samantha Malfitano LPC: When people feel safe to express all of their feelings, true healing can begin. For many, they have repressed these emotions for years, creating a disconnect from the mind, body & soul, Which separates you from your true self. You may feel stuck, depleted, lacking purpose, motivation & direction. Searching externally within people, places & things to give you relief, only to find this is just a temporary solution. Resulting in symptoms & behaviors such as anxiety, depression, eating disorders, panic, self harm, suicidal ideation, substance use, and others, to cope with these old painful emotions & memories.
