About me

My name is Samuel and I have deep respect and admiration for any person willing to seek improvement in a therapeutic environment. I was born in Ethiopia, raised in Maryland. I have worked as a counselor/therapist since 2004 and have had great success working with people to improve their quality of life. My approach to therapy is to treat each person as a unique individual with potential to improve emotional health. Oftentimes, emotional injuries such as abandonment, betrayal, injustice, rejection, humiliation and loss can cause long term damage, preventing us from experiencing peace of mind or joy. Similar to physical injuries, emotional injuries can heal if treated with the proper amount of care and nurture. Therapy is a tool to learn how to heal emotional injuries, and trauma, in order to have the strength to strive towards our ultimate potential. Depression, anxiety, anger and many other symptoms are often the byproduct of unresolved emotional injuries. Also, therapy is able to increase self-awareness in order to form better relationships with loved ones and stop a cycle of despair and self-destructive behavior. I wish you the best in your journey towards wellbeing.

Reviews

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

I have had multiple therapists throughout my adult life and my experience with Samuel has far and away been the best I've ever had. His ability to keep the session on track and connecting whatever current struggles you are experiencing to the larger picture of your past journey and future goals is a rare gift. He maintains this focus while still allowing you the space to process and get your emotions out into the foreground. He radiates genuine compassion, support and empathy. I strongly recommend working with Samuel!
