Samantha Numis

Welcome to From the Ground Up Counseling Services! If you're seeking mental health support, it would be an honor to join you on your journey. I understand that finding the right therapist can be overwhelming, and my goal is to make this process as comfortable and seamless as possible. Whether you're looking to get your life back on track or build the life you've always envisioned, I’m here to help. In our partnership, we'll work together to identify your goals, and I’ll provide the tools and support to help you achieve them. Building trust is essential in any healthy relationship, and gaining your trust is where I’d like to begin. A little about me: My name is Samantha, and I’m a licensed counselor in New Jersey with over nine years of experience in the mental health field. I earned my B.S. in Psychology from Stockton University and my M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Rider University. My therapy style is a blend of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Informed Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy, all tailored to fit your individual needs. I have experience working with clients facing anxiety, depression, OCD, mood swings, irritability, panic attacks, impulsivity, trauma, poor sleep hygiene, unhealthy eating patterns, grief and loss, hopelessness, suicidal ideation, self-harm, ADHD, perinatal mood & anxiety disorders (including pregnancy loss), and more. I have an extensive background working in Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient programs, where I supported individuals with stabilization and skill-building. Now, I’ve transitioned to traditional outpatient counseling, where I continue to provide education, support, and guidance to my clients. When you’re ready, feel free to reach out—I’m here to ease your worries, answer your questions, and support you every step of the way. I look forward to hearing from you!
