Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Samantha Swingle, LCSW-C
Hi, I’m Samantha!
I am happy that you are here! The journey to overcome any life difficulties, changes, and stressors can seem scary and overwhelming. I am here to relieve you of some of these feelings and help you through this process by providing you with the space to feel safe and heard through therapy.
A little bit about me:
For the past 6 years I have had many different roles in the mental health field working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. After spending time connecting clients to therapy in a mental health case management role, I decided that I wanted to further my career and become a mental health therapist.
I have spent most of my career working with children and adults who are experiencing trauma, difficult life changes, grief, anxiety, depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and crisis intervention. I have worked in a variety of settings including community mental health, crisis intervention, schools, clinics, family settings, and telehealth.
I am looking forward to working with children, adolescents, adults, and families in the private practice setting to support them in processing and overcoming their current challenges. When I am not in private practice, I am a school-based therapist at an elementary school in Anne Arundel County. Outside of my therapy role, I enjoy walking my dog, spending time with family, and coaching swimming.
Samantha’s Specialties
What you can expect from me:
It takes great strength and courage to seek support for the challenges you are facing. I recognize that sharing your story may be difficult and it may bring up emotions that sometimes we all try to avoid. As your therapist, I will create a safe space and a trusting environment within our therapeutic relationship, so you feel comfortable sharing your story.
I believe that everyone’s story is unique, and that therapy needs to be customized to you and your needs and personality. I take an empathic, relaxed, and conversational approach to help you navigate your story and empower you to better understand yourself, your feelings, and the world around you.
Wherever you are in your story, we will work together to explore your goals to support you in becoming the best version of you in a life that you enjoy.
