About me
I have over 6 years of clinical experience as an LCSW and over 14 years of experience as a social work practitioner in working with individuals that have a variety of needs. I use an eclectic approach by integrating different evidence-based intervention techniques to tailor treatment to the individual. I specialize in working with adults on family issues, relationship stressors, sexuality and coming out; and self-esteem/self-trust. I provide feedback and I am directive, therefore I try not to 'just listen and validate' I also like to be engaged in what you are saying.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Samantha Nelums. 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.
Kind, considerate, caring, knowledgeable. Not afraid to offer suggestions and ideas. I was skeptical of message-only at first but I see now how it works and perhaps might be more effective .

Samantha has been wonderful. She is great at getting me to ask the questions I need to ask myself, and helps me explore what those questions and their answers mean to me.
