Hi, I’m SAMANTHA AUGAITIS-ELZEY.
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (with Supervision Designation).
In addition to my counseling license, I hold a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist-Individual certification, which allows for specialized treatment in trauma. I can help with a variety of concerns to best serve and meet client needs. I work with many various populations of people ages 16 and up. I also offer couples and marriage therapy services as well.
I am inspired by the ability to help others create and obtain balance and wellness in their lives. I believe in cultivating a welcoming environment for my clients, rooting my practice in mindfulness based approaches. I believe that a compassionate and earnest approach is key to help those who walk through the door feel safe, heard and validated.
