Samantha Nelums
,LCSW
I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Social and Behavioral Sciences with a Master of Social Work degree in Advanced Clinical Practice. I have been practicing Social Work for over 13 years while working with diverse populations who have experienced a variety of life's challenges. I believe that life's experiences are opportunities for growth so that we can tolerate all of the wild challenges that it throws out at us. Together, we can work together to make meaning of these experiences so that you can achieve your personal goals.
I have seen the most success when working with people who experience family issues, attachment issues in relationships, those who want to heal from past family and relationship trauma, those questioning their sexuality and gender identity (including the complicated family issues and relationship issues that arise for LGBTQIA+ community members), as well as those who struggle with self-trust and decision-making. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (including Trauma-Focused CBT), Bowenian Family Therapy, Written Exposure Therapy that addresses PTSD, and Problem Solving Therapy to address depression and anxiety.

"This online therapy platform has been helping a lot! However, I do feel a little unorganized with the worksheets and how their questions overlap."

"Samantha Nelums is such a wonderful therapist and has really helped me break down what im going through and help me to embody what I want to see in my behavior in less than a week! I'm really looking forward to continue working with her and see what else we reveal.
I also like this platform where I can work on it when it's best for me and not have to feel pressured to talk about everything in a one hour session in person for example. No stage fright here as I'm not forced into a specific time slot. It's a great way to experience therapy."

"Samantha Nelums has been really great guiding me in the sections. I highly recommend that everyone make the effort to go through each section. It's honestly hard for me but I keep at it because I really need it, especially entering into the workforce. Also, I see how my anger affects the people around me and my ability to find my life's purpose."

"My therapist does a great job of calling out my negative thought patterns and bad habits, but she also affirms my feelings and helps me understand the deeper meaning behind those."
