Samiah Green

My work is grounded in a person-centered and culturally responsive approaches, honoring each client’s identity, lived experience, and unique story. In our sessions we will work collaboratively towards your goals at a pace the feels right.
First session
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and you don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin. Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another, talk about what brought you to therapy, and begin identifying what you hope to gain from our work together. We’ll spend time learning about your experiences, your current concerns, and the things that have shaped you while honoring your identity, culture, and lived experiences. We’ll also talk about your goals for therapy and begin creating a plan that feels supportive and meaningful to you.Most importantly, there is no pressure to share everything all at once. Therapy is a process, and we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, understood, and empowered to begin your healing journey. You don’t have to navigate it alone. We’ll take it one step at a time together.
Strengths
I am a trauma informed therapist and aid in helping clients process and heal from experiences such as childhood trauma, generational, relational wounds, cultural or identity-based trauma, and difficult life transitions. My work is grounded in supporting marginalized communities who stories are often misunderstood or ignored in traditional mental health spaces.

My other focuses include depression, anxiety, grief, self-esteem issues, adjustment issues, and college and work-related stressors.

Treatment methods
Trauma-Focused CBT
Clients will understand how trauma has affected their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, learn skills to manage anxiety, fear, sadness, anger, or guilt. Gradually process memories of the traumatic event in a safe, structured way. Replace unhelpful beliefs (such as "I'm not safe anywhere" or "It was all my fault") with more accurate, balanced ones. Feel more in control and able to move forward
Person-centered (Rogerian)
The goal is to help you better understand yourself and make decisions that fit your values.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is used to identify negative thought patterns, and develop more balanced, realistic ways of thinking, and practice new behaviors that support your goals.
