Samantha Proto, MHC-LP

In therapy we will work together to provide a safe and reflective environment where you are able to feel accepted, understood, and validated. By building good rapport, we can work towards your goals and change any negative thought or behavior patterns that may be present. Counseling is a unique experience that requires a unique approach for every individual. While working together, my focus will be on your needs and helping you explore your thoughts, feelings, experiences, and behaviors. I utilize elements of Person Centered Therapy, Strengths-Based, CBT, MI, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. I am especially interested in issues pertaining to substance use, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, and identity. Being half Filipina, I am also passionate about serving the AAPI community and BIPOC.
