About

Welcome! My name is Samantha Siafakas and I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York State. I graduated from SUNY Old Westbury in 2016 and have my M.S. in Mental Health Counseling; this program focused in psychodynamic therapy. I have been practicing for four years. Throughout this time, I have worked with adolescents and adults with a variety of presenting problems including depression, anxiety, learning disabilities, ADHD, Autism, mood disorders, as well as substance use disorders, providing career counseling.

Individuals engage in therapy for a variety of reasons; therefore, I ensure to provide a safe non-judgmental space to openly express and process your feelings around challenges you may be experiencing. My approach is supportive, validating, and direct. I believe transparency is important, and allows for open communication within the therapeutic process. I also encourage autonomy and hope to provide guidance while you carve your own path. We can explore your goals together and challenge those unwanted feelings in order to reach your maximum potential. We all need support sometimes, and I look forward to understanding your journey and providing assistance along the way!
