Samantha Ariza, LPC, NCC

EMDR Specialized Therapist

You remember a time when worry, frustration, and tension weren’t the “norm” … but those days feel like a distant memory. Don’t you wish you had the tools to change that?

I’m Samantha, and I help people just like you: ones that have it within them to be free from anxiety but just need the support to get there.

I help my clients find joy, peace, and excitement for life by equipping them with the tools they need to take control of their physical symptoms and resolve the root of their anxiety.

Many of today’s solutions for anxiety and trauma is to talk it out without any feedback or action steps to take, leading so many to feel frustrated and like they cannot move forward to escape their current patterns. I know that your circumstances are unique, so my plan will be tailored to you and focus on the moments that impacted you specifically.

First, we deconstruct your story and the events that are causing you to feel stuck in the past or unable to move forward. Then, we learn techniques to deal with the more intense physical sensations that will be most effective for you. Through our work together, you’ll shed the ineffective tools you used for more beneficial and rewarding experiences.

My training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing means I have the expertise you need and deserve when moving past those fears. I have learned the tools needed to activate those healing processes you already have. But at the end of the day, you want to know you’re working with someone who “gets” what it means to be a person struggling with extreme fear and worry, right?

I get it because I have experienced these same things in my own life. I know that it can be easy to chalk it up to being overly cautious but feeling robbed of doing the things that bring you true joy. I know you would rather be out and about seeing the world instead of on your couch thinking nothing will get better. So when we work together, you won’t just get a trained therapist. You’ll get someone who truly understands what you’re going through.
