Caroline Sampsell

LCSW, Clinical Supervisor – AGES 18+

My name is Caroline and I have been working in the mental health field since 2010. I know finding the right therapist can be such an awkward battle and I know it can cause us to stop the process before even beginning. Whether you are starting a new journey or returning, I would love to be part of your self-exploration or healing.

My focus as a therapist is to help women in all stages of life with all different stresses we experience including the pressures we put on ourselves. I can provide a comfortable, non-judgmental, warm, empathic and accepting space for you. I want to help you navigating emotions, wants, needs, and internal thoughts whether there is one big trauma or cumulative trauma events over time, or even the day to day expectations and pressure as a woman in our society.

Transitions can be over stimulating and even though it may be new, we think or pressure ourselves into perfecting the process. As a therapist, my goal is to help process trauma or other experiences that create barriers in you reaching your goals. I want to help women build their sense of self-worth, identity, and authenticity, while honoring and even valuing their vulnerabilities.

You deserve support through all of the changes that occur voluntarily or involuntarily in life including transitioning to adulthood with college or graduate school and/or career stressors or changes, moving, as well as navigating difficult relationship dynamics whether dating, marital, or post divorce/loss.

As a therapist, I also enjoy supporting women struggling with health related issues, and/or infertility, miscarriages/pregnancy loss, the rollercoaster of an IVF journey, transitioning into pregnancy, as well as the post partum experiences. Building a family or choosing to not build a family is a very personal decision that deserves to be respected without change to your value.

Women in our society are under so much judgment from all different sources at various moments in life, and I want to help support you to reach whatever your goal is without judgment, without pressure, navigating through the extra noise interfering in your own thoughts and decisions. As a therapist, I will bring in various therapeutic modalities to meet you in your stage of life with support, empathy, and respect. We can laugh, cuss or be sarcastic, cry and be serious, experience a mixture of emotions leading to cry-laughing-angry-relief, or just embrace a quiet moment in the process of therapy. Therapy is a choice you make for yourself and I respect you for exploring your needs, wants, options, and hurts, because you deserve true self-care, acceptance, and support.
