Samantha L. Vanderplow

In a world where selecting the right therapist can feel like navigating a sea of profiles and introductions, I aim to make your decision easier. I won't bore you with an exhaustive list of my accomplishments; instead, I want to convey the essence of who I am and why I love what I do. I am a therapist who brings both professionalism and a touch of quirkiness to the table. I recognize and embrace my individuality, understanding that my unconventional approach sets me apart in a positive way and these unique qualities make me an exceptional therapist. My love for this profession runs deep, and I understand the importance of finding a therapist who creates a comfortable and safe space for you. Everything starts with the initial session where you feel at ease, or at least intrigued enough to return because therapy can feel uncomfortable at times, especially if you must retell your personal and intimate story. I understand this sentiment firsthand, as I have walked a similar path. It is with this understanding that I approach therapy sessions, aiming to create an environment that is genuine, light-hearted, informative, and ultimately conducive to open and effortless conversation. It's those "aha" moments, the transformative experiences, and the strength we find when facing challenges head-on that give my work purpose. Together we can navigate the tough stuff and celebrate the victories that lie in between. We will embark on a voyage of self-exploration, where I will provide guidance, support, and practical tools to help you navigate the intricate landscape of your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I am overwhelmingly passionate about helping people fall back in love with themselves, appreciating their uniqueness, seeing through their dysfunctional thoughts, understanding their emotions, and embracing all the things that have made them stronger. I can help you get through the dark times, overcome anxious thoughts, and coach alongside you to turn your ADHD into a superpower. We will unravel layers of self-doubt, fears, and insecurities, to then allow you to embrace your true potential and forge a deeper connection with yourself. You already have the main tool to get through these things —your inherent strength and the power of your mind. I am dedicated to supporting you on your unique journey toward healing and self-discovery.
