Therapist

Real support for real life, wherever you are in your journey.

As an LCSW with more than a decade of experience, I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, and life's inevitable turning points. Outside the office, my life is full with my small children and energetic puppy. I share that because I understand, firsthand, how full and unpredictable life can feel, and how hard it can be to carve out space just for you. That's exactly what our time together is for.

Samantha Linet

Samantha Linet

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I am a board certified LCSW from New York. I received my Masters from Hunter College, where I specialized in childhood trauma and development through the National Child Trauma Workforce Institute.

I am a certified level 1 AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) and IFS (Internal Family Systems) therapist. These specialized approaches invite clients to go deeper than in traditional talk-therapy and result in a deep sense of catharsis and ultimately, self-compassion. In addition, I am trained in treating perinatal mood and anxiety disorders through Postpartum Support International.

These approaches benefit clients working through many different types challenges but are particularly helpful for those struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and with a history of interpersonal, and'or childhood trauma.

I work often with clients who self-identify as "people-pleasers"-empathetic, "emotional sponges" who prioritize others at the cost of their own well-being. My approach helps these types and ALL clients develop stronger boundaries, reconnect with their needs, and find renewed balance and purpose.
