About Jenni Samuel
I’m Jenni Samuel, a Licensed Professional Counselor working with adults and adolescents ages 16 and older.
I became a therapist because I’m genuinely interested in people — how we become who we are, why certain patterns are so difficult to change, and what helps us move forward when life isn’t working the way we want it to.
My style is warm, engaged, and practical. I’m not a therapist who simply sits back and listens. I’ll ask questions, offer observations, help you make connections, and sometimes challenge you to look at something differently.
At the same time, I believe you know yourself better than anyone else does. Therapy works best when we bring both perspectives into the room.
What Matters to Me in Therapy
You don’t need to perform in therapy or have the "right" thing to say.
Some people come in knowing exactly what they want to work on. Others simply know that something feels off.
We can start there.
I want therapy to be a place where you can be honest — including about things you may feel embarrassed, conflicted, or uncertain about — without feeling judged.
I also want our work to be useful. Insight matters, but understanding why you do something is only part of the process. We’ll also look at what might help you respond differently and create changes that carry into your life outside my office.
Experience and Approach
I work with clients experiencing anxiety, eating disorders and complicated relationships with food, depression, ADHD, life transitions, relationship and family stress, caregiving, midlife changes, and unresolved experiences from the past.
My approach is individualized rather than based on one particular type of therapy. Depending on what you need, our work may include traditional talk therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR, or Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).
You don’t need to know which approach is right for you. That’s something we can decide together.
