Get to Know Samantha
Samantha believes that true healing and transformation occur when we address the root cause of conflict, whether within a person, a relationship, or a broader system. Her approach is deeply rooted in the understanding that life’s challenges and blocks often stem from unresolved issues that can create resistance to becoming your most authentic self. Samantha’s work focuses on guiding her clients and groups through a mindful exploration of these underlying issues, helping them to identify and heal the sources of their struggles.
While it is common for individuals to experience life blocks, Samantha emphasizes that these barriers can inhibit personal growth and prevent us from living in alignment with our true nature. She integrates a variety of therapeutic techniques, all centered around the belief that the journey toward healing begins with mindful awareness. This awareness is not only the first step in the healing process but also the foundation for achieving a deeper, more profound level of self-understanding and transformation.​
By fostering this awareness, Samantha empowers her clients to access their own inner resources for healing, guiding them toward a place of balance, ease, and well-being. She recognizes that achieving this balance is essential for leading a fulfilling and harmonious life.
​Samantha’s professional background is rich and diverse, with a strong focus on holistic and integrative therapies. She earned her Master’s degree in social work with a concentration in group work, equipping her with the skills to facilitate meaningful change in both individuals and groups. Additionally, she holds a Master’s certification in Conscious Studies and Transpersonal Psychology, which allows her to bring a deeper, more spiritual dimension to her practice. This unique combination of expertise enables Samantha to provide a comprehensive and compassionate approach to healing, helping her clients navigate their journey with clarity, purpose, and peace

How Mindful Transformations Came to Life
Samantha’s journey to creating Mindful Transformations LLC began during her time in solo practice. As she cultivated a space rooted in holistic care, something unexpected happened—interns began reaching out, expressing their desire to learn from her. They told her how much they’d love to join a group practice with her and deepen their understanding of holistic approaches to therapy. These conversations ignited a spark in Samantha. She realized she could create more than just a group practice—she could build a collaborative space where therapists grow together, embracing the full potential of holistic mental health care.
​
This vision aligned perfectly with Samantha’s passion for education. With years of experience as a supervisor at Fordham University, CCSU, the University of Saint Joseph, and UConn, she understood the power of mentorship and community. She imagined a space where emerging therapists could thrive—not just by learning techniques, but by exploring the art of healing. Mindful Transformations would be a place where therapists support each other, learning and growing through connection and collaboration.
​
When you see a therapist at Mindful Transformations, you are never alone. Each therapist is backed by regular supervision and the support of a caring community, ensuring you receive the highest quality of care. This shared wisdom and collaborative approach mean that every client benefits from the combined experience and resources of the entire team. At Mindful Transformations, healing is a collective effort—guided by compassion, innovation, and the latest in mental health research.
Mindful Transformations was born from Samantha’s desire to create something meaningful—a space where both therapists and clients experience growth and transformation. Today, it continues to be a vibrant community dedicated to advancing the field of mental health, one connection at a time.
