Samantha DeFilippo, LPC
Samantha DeFilippo
I believe that everyone has the capacity for change and transformation; sometimes, we just need a helping hand to navigate the path ahead. Whether you’re sober, struggling with substance use or trying to develop a healthier relationship with substances, my goal is to help you navigate the complexities of recovery with compassion, understanding, and support. I strive to create a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and respected, allowing you to explore the underlying factors that contribute to your relationship with substances. I am committed to fostering a therapeutic relationship built on trust, authenticity, and mutual respect. We will work collaboratively, allowing your voice to be heard and your experiences to shape our sessions.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor, I draw upon various clinical approaches including person-centered therapy, family systems therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and and other evidence-based strategies. This allows me to tailor our sessions to your individual needs, creating a comprehensive plan for healing that goes beyond just addressing substance use—by focusing on the whole person, including emotional, relational, and behavioral aspects of your life.
Change is not always easy, but with a supportive therapist by your side, it becomes more manageable and empowering. I am here to remind you of your resilience, to help you overcome obstacles, and to celebrate your victories, no matter how small they may seem. Recovery is not just about breaking free from substances; it’s about rediscovering yourself and creating a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. I am here to walk with you every step of the way, providing encouragement, empathy, and guidance as you heal, grow, and thrive.
