My name is Samantha G Stringer and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who has worked with youths, adults, the elderly, veterans, church groups, and families as they struggled with conflicts, life transitions, mental health, and substance use related issues.

I specialize in treating psychological trauma, including sexual trauma, and I also treat depression, low self-esteem, anxiety, including panic attacks and panic disorder, grief/bereavement, relationship issues, parenting issues, behavioral issues, stress management and improving your coping mechanisms.
