SAMANTHA HACKER (she/her/hers)

I support individuals experiencing psychosis and schizophrenia by providing a calm, structured space to explore symptoms, strengthen coping skills, and improve daily functioning. I help clients better understand their experiences, navigate treatment options, and build practical strategies for stability, safety, and recovery.

I help clients understand how attachment patterns shape relationships, emotional responses, and self-worth. Together we explore early experiences and relational patterns that may influence how you connect with others today, and work toward developing healthier, more secure ways of relating to yourself and those around you.

I provide LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy for individuals exploring identity, relationships, and life transitions. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can feel seen and understood while navigating challenges such as stress, discrimination, family dynamics, and self-acceptance.

I support individuals experiencing psychosis and schizophrenia by providing a calm, structured space to explore symptoms, strengthen coping skills, and improve daily functioning. With my background as both a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and pharmacist, I help clients better understand their experiences, navigate treatment options, and build practical strategies for stability, safety, and recovery.

I provide culturally responsive therapy that recognizes how culture, identity, and lived experiences shape mental health. As a Black Caribbean American clinician, I approach therapy with cultural humility and respect for each client’s background, values, and worldview, creating a space where clients feel understood, affirmed, and supported in their healing.

I take an eclectic approach to therapy, drawing from multiple evidence-based methods to meet each client’s unique needs. Rather than using a single model, I integrate techniques from different therapeutic approaches to support emotional insight, practical coping skills, and meaningful change based on each person’s goals and experiences.

I use EMDR therapy to help clients process distressing memories and reduce the emotional impact of past experiences. EMDR can be especially helpful for trauma, anxiety, and persistent negative beliefs. My approach focuses on creating a safe and supportive environment while guiding clients through the process of healing and building resilience.
