A radically different approach to therapy and psychological wellness.
My schedule is super full!
Hi! I’m so glad you’re here!
Unfortunately, I am unable to accept new clients at this time. My schedule is currently at max capacity, and I have had to close my very-full waitlist. Please check back later as this message will be gone once I’m able to accommodate new clients.
Collaborative psychotherapy for those who've endured more than most— where you’re treated like a person, not a pathology.
Together We’ll Create Space for Change That Lasts
If…
You and your partner fight over the same thing so often you can predict each other’s moves…
You find yourself in situations where you feel like you’ve lost control and wonder how you got so worked up in the first place…
You have tried to find ways to cope with overwhelming emotions, but continue to find them ineffective…
It seems like part of you is stuck in the past, caught in the memories of significantly hurtful events…
You sometimes question what’s wrong with you or if there’s something wrong with you…
You have ever felt like you didn’t belong or wondered if you were born into the wrong family…
You find any or all of these things impacting your romantic relationship(s)…
And you want…
To slow down, change patterns of negative interaction, and deepen your connection with your partner.
To notice what’s happening inside yourself, regain control, and find peace.
To safely explore your emotions, calm the internal storm, and implement effective coping strategies.
To heal from the difficult moments you have endured, reconstruct their meaning, and move forward.
To feel more confident, self-compassionate, and prepared to face the hard days.
To establish a stronger, more positive sense of self and self-worth, and become a fully alive human being.
To organize your experience, create effective dependence with your partner, find new ways of being together.
Hi, I’m Sam!
Samantha D. Carlton, MS, LMFT
I have a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy. Extensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Emotionally Focused Therapies (EFT), I work with individuals, couples, and families to help them struggle less and flourish more.
I’m on a mission to put psychological wellness in the hands of the people, trusting they know what they need, as I join them on the journey.
We all need community and connection and I appreciate you inviting me into your circle.
Though its presence is often overlooked, I’m sooo over psychological wellness being lumped in the medical model. I’m especially done with psychotherapy being dictated by folx who don’t have a clue what people like you are experiencing. Mental healthcare should be warm and collaborative and navigated by you and me together.
Ready to take the next step in your personal growth?
