Samantha Maederer

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Registered Art Therapist with over 10 years experience working with a diverse range of clients from preschool to teens, prenatal parents to inter-generational families, and clients in traditional and nontraditional relationships. I specialize in complex trauma, anxiety and phobias, depression, relationship concerns, and change of life issues, and have in-depth experience working with new parents preparing for a new child and in treating maternal mental health. I also work with children and teens who are struggling to express themselves and support parents in reconnecting with their children and finding their confidence in their relationship with their child. I believe that addressing challenges requires creativity and courage, and I enjoy using therapeutic art-making in sessions to help both adults and children express themselves in new ways and develop new and creative approaches to problems. For clients who prefer traditional talk therapy, I use methods tailored to your needs to help you look at problems in new ways, explore past patterns, and will challenge and encourage you to move forward on the path to the best version of yourself. I believe that change starts from within and enjoy helping clients develop self-compassion and courage to feel confident to work through what is holding them back. Please reach out to schedule a time to talk to see if I may be a good fit, I look forward to getting to know you.
