Samantha Birtwell  -LMFT

AAMFT Approved Supervisionm

EMDRIA Approved EMDR Consultant

​

 

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and an AAMFT approved Supervisor for trainees and associates coming into the field. I am also an EMDRIA approved Consultant, practiced in EMDR for trauma and other related disturbances. I work with individuals, families, and couples coping with a wide range of issues including:

 

Marital and relationship concerns, divorce, per-marital counseling, intimacy, sex and desire discrepancies, blended family adjustments, codependency, infidelity, trauma/PTSD, grief, love-loss, depression, parenting issues, self-esteem, anxiety, OCD, and life stage adjustments.

 

As an EMDR clinician, I treat many persistent concerns including but not limited to PTSD, phobias, anxiety, panic attacks, attachment issues, depression, performance anxiety, complex grief,  OCD, postpartum complexities, and past and recent trauma. I have a special interest in working with dissociative disorders, co-dependency, trauma, and the impact of these presentations on relationships. I provide therapy for therapists looking to take a deep dive into self-development and enjoy working with gifted adults who are seeking to overcome the obstacles that keep them from reaching their full potential. I work from a Bowenian frame informed by structural family systems with attachment and ego-state interventions. Aspects of mindfulness, guided visualization, and somatic experience are part of my approach.
