Samantha Peka (She/They)

My therapeutic approach is grounded in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), a highly effective evidence-based method that combines mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. With DBT, we will collaboratively navigate life's challenges, develop practical skills to manage difficult emotions, improve communication, and encourage a deeper understanding of yourself. I have extensive experience working with individuals facing various mental health concerns, including personality disorders, mood disorders, and psychosis. My goal is to offer you a comprehensive and individualized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs and motivates you to create positive change in your life.

Inclusive therapy is not a mere add-on but an integral part of my practice. It reflects my deep commitment to social justice, equality, and the celebration of human diversity. My approach is grounded in the understanding that healing is most effective when individuals are seen, heard, and understood within the context of their unique identities and lived experiences. I believe in amplifying the voices of those who have been silenced and empowering individuals to navigate their healing journey while acknowledging the intersectionality of their identities. I am passionate about creating a space where clients can be their authentic selves, and where their unique journeys are honored and validated. Through this approach, I aspire to contribute positively to the well-being and empowerment of the LGBTQ+ community, the Black community, and all those who seek support on their journey toward healing and self-discovery.
