Hello! My name is Sammy Klinke and I am a Licenced Mental Health Counselor. I specialize in working with children and teens who are experiencing social, emotional, behavioral, and relational problems. My warm and caring nature provides a safe place for children to feel accepted and understood. I am dedicated to providing a nurturing space where children are able to process difficult feelings and experiences. I believe parents are a crucial element in a child's growth and success. Parenting can be hard, I am passionate about supporting parents through their child’s counseling process. My experience in the clinical setting and as a K-8 school counselor, I bring a unique lens working with children. I believe connecting home and school forces provides a foundation for student success. I utilize person-centered theory to ground my practice and I have advanced training in child-centered play therapy (CCPT). I build trust with my client by fully accepting, empathizing, and understanding them as they navigate their inner feelings and experiences. In this trusting relationship, we work together to promote healing and positive change. I would love to talk with you to see if we would be a good fit. I look forward to hearing from you!
