Samantha Nelums, LCSW
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.
Professional experience
Additional areas of focus: Relationship issues, Abandonment, Attachment issues, Family of origin issues, Family problems, Forgiveness, HIV / AIDS, Self-love, Sexuality, Young adult issues
Clinical approaches: Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy

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.
