I am Samantha Congdon (she/her) and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. As a licensed Marriage Family Therapist I have been trained in psychotherapy and family systems, and I am licensed to diagnose and treat mental and emotional disorders.

I provide neurodivergent-affirming, gender-affirming, and have cultural humility within all my sessions. I work collaboratively with clients and use a narrative approach to help deconstruct the problem saturated story within a client’s life. I use systemic thinking throughout my sessions to help create understanding about a person’s different systems and how it my be impacting them. I feel passionate about helping an individual heal their relationship with food, body and mind. I believe the therapist client relationship is essential to success, and I aim to create a safe environment where clients feel comfortable to be and explore their sense of self.
