Welcome!!! My name is Samantha Wright. I am a non judgmental human being, Therapist, friend, confidant, and coach, that wants to help people be happy in their lives and with their existence and personal experiences. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Indiana with over 20 years of experience working as a therapist and consultant with community mental health, private practice, addiction therapy, teaching, DCS consultant, and in home health care assessments as well as hospice counseling, and I have been with Betterhelp for five years.
First, I can help you... I work to offer solution focused guidance to offer immediate relief. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, anger, lack of motivation and self esteem, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, ADHD, addictions, sexual issues, sexual identity issues, and personality disorders. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma,emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, transgender issues, spiritual issues, and other moral dilemmas.
My counseling style is warm, interactive, and open minded. I believe in treating people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I do not believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, mindfulness, and the work of how to change our thinking, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I was really really lonely and depressed when I learned about this webpage. It gave me Samantha as a counselor. It really helped to talk to someone. Samantha is not judgmental, you can see that she has a lot of experience in the job she is doing, and just by talking to her, I was feeling better day by day. She gave some nice advice which helped cope with life and problems. I think she is a really good person that helped me in some of my darkest days, and I am thankful for that!

She is so easy to go with. I mean from the very first minute we started our session it felt like I've known her for long and it felt easy to talk to her because of this. She helped me to see many things I didn't notice before, to think in new and positive way.

Samantha is kind and patient and also challenges me when appropriate. Her ear and wisdom have been the backdrop to a year full of huge emotional, geographical and circumstantial changes, both ups and downs. Her consistency, follow-through and compassion in what sometimes seems like a compassionless world is an oasis.

It feels great to have a licensed professional to read what is going on with you and provide constructive feedback. I believe that life is a journey of becoming the best version of yourself and I very much appreciate Samantha's counsel. Thank you for what you do :)
Written on Feb 05, 2016 after therapy with Samantha for 4 months on issues concerning trauma and abuse, and anger
Thank you. I felt so bad and I felt my world was crashing, but Samantha Wright helped me to understand to think about me instead of the person causing my pain and what do I really need with someone who don't care as much as I do about the relationship. I feel so much better and I'm thinking about me first now. Again, thank you.

I enjoy Sam's help a lot. She has so much personal experience in all the issues I'm dealing w. It makes taking her advice much easier because she knows exactly what I'm going through. I do wish she was easier to get a hold of. Many times I don't hear back from her in as timely a manner as I'd like but her advice is so good I don't want to find a new counselor.

I just started my membership and unfortunately had to cut short after just a few weeks. I was matched with Samantha Wright. Although I didn't get to spend as much time with her like I wanted, she was very persistent even when I couldn't reply to messages for days. I can tell she really enjoys helping people and she has given me some very helpful advice. Thank you!

I am very pleased with Samantha as my counselor, she is empathetic, kind, and very patient with all of my melt downs and rants.

She is adept in the holistic approach which I respect and appreciate.
