Samantha Shepherd, LICSW

Therapist, lifelong learner, nature lover — guided by curiosity, compassion, and coffee.

I've been providing therapy services since 2019, bringing creativity, humor, and gentleness into sessions. I'm neurodivergent-affirming, committed to cultural humility and aligned with Health at Every Size (HAES) principles. I especially enjoy working with clients who identify as neurodivergent and/or LGBTQ+, as well as folks that would like help coping with anxiety, trauma, and/or grief. After all, everyone deserves a little support through this thing called life.
