Samantha Smith
She/Her
Licensed Therapist, MS, LMHC
About
I take a fun, respectful approach to OCD treatment: I try to make light of OCD while respecting each member's experience with OCD. I believe OCD may be a part of your life, but it doesn't have to be your life. I'll help you feel heard and safe while we pursue Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy. I'm empathetic, open to new challenges, and aware that every individual needs to be heard differently. I have extensive experience with individuals who've been diagnosed with severe and persistent disorders such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

It was great. Sam is so good at pushing me just to my limits without me breaking down. Today was the hardest session I’ve ever done and I’m so glad I had Samantha there to push me.

Samantha is a great therapist! She has a wide range of knowledge about OCD, she listened to my specific symptoms and had explanations for each of them which really helped me to feel understood. OCD can be so confusing so having a therapist who understands it so well is vital.

Was very knowledgeable about OCD treatment. I was worried my type of OCD might be hard to understand but she seemed very prepared to be able to tackle it.

Samantha is compassionate and kind! I always leave a session with her feeling better (although we have to discuss hard things). She is a great balance of direct but empathetic.
