Samantha Beckett, LSW

I enjoy working with individuals struggling with chronic pain and chronic illness. I understand the struggle of not being able to fully engage with your life the way you used to. The loss, isolation, frustration, and anger are real and valid. And it’s so hard for others to understand what it’s like. Asking for help is tough and not asking for help has consequences. It’s difficult to find the balance between independence and dependence. It’s easy to fall into a cycle of overdoing it and paying the price later. 

If this cycle seems never-ending and you’re feeling hopeless, helpless, or depressed, I can help. As a person with a chronic condition, I am familiar with the struggles you’re facing and know what it means to have to adjust your whole self to adapt. It seems like a mountain you have to climb every day, and sometimes you need a guide who knows the way. 

In my work, I support a client's emotional needs and help them harness their existing strengths and skills to better cope and function. My aim is to reduce the difficult symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, and to help you find a path forward. I welcome clients from the LGBTQIA+ and Veterans communities. Let’s talk to see if I can help.
