Introduction

Hi, I’m Dr. Samantha Foti—a licensed clinical psychologist who works with adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, and the emotional impact of religious trauma or deconstruction. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Anxiety often shows up as second-guessing decisions, replaying conversations, feeling more irritable or on edge, or wondering why everything feels harder than it should. It can cloud your thoughts and pull you away from what really matters. In therapy, we’ll get curious about what’s keeping you stuck, reconnect with your values, and build tools to help you move through challenges with more clarity and confidence. Therapy with me is a mix of insight and action. We’ll explore what you’re feeling and where it might be coming from, while also practicing new ways of responding to anxiety and shifting unhelpful patterns. I often share strategies or reflections to carry into your week, so our work continues between sessions in meaningful, practical ways. If you’re struggling with anxiety, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy can help you feel more grounded, clear, and connected to what matters most. If you have questions or feel ready to get started, please reach out—I’d love to connect. I offer in-person therapy in Summit, NJ, and online sessions for clients across NJ, NY, and all PSYPACT states.
