My approach
Often times, it can be very difficult for individuals just starting therapy to open up and feel comfortable, especially around someone they just met! Dr. Sami focuses on building a casual and comfortable relationship with each client to facilitate trust and acceptance. Dr. Sami understands that people are unique and have varying strengths and differences. Dr. Sami utilizes an eclectic approach, which may include Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Behavior Activation, Relational Therapy; and aspects of play therapy, art, media, games, or even videogames. Dr. Sami has special training in the "gamification" of therapeutic concepts.
​
Dr. Sami provides an affirmative therapeutic approach that is accepting and welcoming of all neurotypes. Every client's treatment plan is individualized to meet their needs, focus on their values, and target their goals.
