Welcome! My name is Samantha and I am a Clinical Mental Health Counselor with a license in Utah and in the process of obtaining one in Oregon. I obtained a Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of Utah in sociology with an emphasis in criminology. Followed by my Master of Science degree in Professional Counseling. I did my internship work at the Utah State Hospital dealing with the severely mentally ill population. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in individual and group psychotherapy as well as psycho-educational groups. I am trained in TF-CBT, adult and juvenile sex offender treatment and domestic violence treatment. I enjoy all aspects of working with a variety of populations. I have currently returned to school to obtain my PsyD so I can learn more effective treatment modalities and begin psychological evaluations.
I am a person centered therapist who uses an eclectic approach to therapy. I use evidence based treatments such as cognitive behavior therapy and mindfulness. I begin treatment where you are ready to start and we tailor your treatment together. I am sensitive to cultural differences and understand the importance of acceptance. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Together we can build a treatment plan and start working towards your goals. I look forward to working with you.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Samantha Godoy. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Samantha has been the first person ever that has actually got what I need, no matter how many times I have tried therapy and tried to explain what I need and how I need to do things, they never got it,so I would end up just stopping, I'm a very tight not person I don't let emotion get the better of me and find that majority of people can't deal with that, But Samantha gets it and I'm able to talk to her easier and look forward to owe sessions

Samantha is patient and willing to respect my time and money. She is able to quickly identify communication strategies that can actually help!
