Samantha Kipfinger
Associate Social Worker -
Are you finding it difficult to cope with feelings of anxiety or depression? Perhaps you battle with perfectionism or struggle with low self-esteem. Maybe you’re looking to navigate through your emotions and experiences. It’s common to feel stuck, lost, or disconnected from your authentic self at times. You don’t have to remain in that state! Through collaboration, we can identify your strengths, explore solutions, delve into your past and present to foster peace and healing, and establish goals to propel you towards restoration and clarity. Together, we can equip you with the tools to embrace life more fully and authentically.
My therapeutic approach is person-centered and trauma informed. My heart’s desire is to meet clients uniquely where they are at, welcoming and honoring them as a whole person. I value honesty, humor and humility within the therapeutic relationship, as well as, creativity, connection and collaboration. For each client, I take an individualized approach.
To my clients, I am a Registered Clinical Social Work Intern (RCSWI), validator, empathizer, and place of warmth and non-judgement. To my friends and family, I am Sam: down to earth, dog mom to Merida and diet coke enthusiast. It would be my joy to partner with you on your therapeutic journey as you seek to find hope while healing.
