About me

I am a licensed independent social worker with 10 years experience working as a mental health therapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship issues, and ADHD. I have also helped people who have experienced trauma and abuse.

My therapy style is warm and collaborative. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I do not believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavorial, mindfulness, and a solution-focused approach. I will collaborate with every client to help the treatment plan meet their unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Samantha Kost. 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.

This service is amazing. Samantha is for lack of a better word "amazing". She's a great listener, but more than that. She understands the issues. She was the 1st person ever to acknowledge that even small tasks can be very hard for me. She not only acknowledged that, but she helps me with strategies to overcome or deal with them. My wife, friends, and family have mentioned that since I began seeing Samantha I have been better at facing some of my issues. I still have a ton I need to work on in my day to day life, but with Samantha's help I feel like I can.
