Sam is a certified EMDR Therapist and Consultant, specializing in work with individuals and couples facing challenges related to trauma, eating disorders, life transitions, and anxiety. She provides a safe, supportive environment where clients can openly navigate life’s complexities and process their experiences. At Sam Beckmann Mental Health, a client-centered and trauma-informed approach is central to every session, with a strong commitment to helping clients feel more connected to their authentic selves.

Beginning therapy can often feel daunting, as it often involves stepping into the unknown and opening up about deeply personal experiences. Many people worry about being vulnerable with someone new or are unsure of what to expect in sessions. There might be apprehension around discussing emotions or revisiting painful memories, and for some, even the idea of needing support can feel overwhelming. However, these feelings are common and a natural part of starting something new. The therapeutic process is designed to unfold at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Taking this initial step, although challenging, is often the first move toward greater self-awareness, healing, and personal growth.
