? Hello, and welcome.
I'm so glad you're here.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, and finding the right therapist isn't always easy. Whether you're navigating anxiety, healing from past experiences, feeling stuck, or simply looking for a space where you can be yourself, I want you to know that you don't have to face it alone.
I believe healing isn't about erasing the difficult parts of your story-it's about understanding them, honoring them, and discovering how they fit into the person you're becoming. Every experience, whether joyful or painful, has helped shape who you are. My hope is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable exploring every part of your story, knowing that every piece of you is welcome.
I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and groups experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, stress, burnout, self-esteem challenges, communication difficulties, and personal growth. I am passionate about providing an affirming, culturally responsive environment for members of the LGBTQIA+ community, BIPOC individuals, and neurodivergent adults, including those with ADHD and autism. I believe every person deserves a therapeutic space where they feel respected, understood, and empowered to show up as their authentic self.
My approach to therapy is collaborative, trauma-informed, and individualized because I recognize that no two people experience life in exactly the same way. I integrate evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and person-centered therapy to help clients better understand themselves, develop practical coping skills, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful, lasting change.
I believe therapy should feel like a partnership. Together, we'll move at a pace that feels safe and comfortable for you while working toward goals that reflect your values, strengths, and hopes for the future. My role is not to tell you who to become, but to walk alongside you as you discover your own resilience, build confidence, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have been overlooked or weighed down by life's challenges.
Clients often describe my style as warm, compassionate, collaborative, and supportive. I strive to create a balance between providing validation and offering practical tools that you can begin applying in your daily life. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling heard, understood, and equipped with strategies that support your growth between sessions.
You don't need to have everything figured out before beginning therapy. Sometimes the hardest part is simply taking the first step-and you've already done that by being here.
My philosophy is simple: every piece of your story matters. Healing doesn't happen by becoming someone different-it happens by learning to embrace every piece of who you already are with compassion, curiosity, and self-acceptance.
I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing, growth, and a life that feels more authentic, balanced, and fulfilling.

03 · How Samaiyah works
These are the clinical methods Samaiyah lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Samaiyah's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Samaiyah runs a session.
04 · What happens next
Samaiyah practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Samaiyah's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Samaiyah at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Samaiyah is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Samaiyah.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
05 · Before you commit
Built from what Samaiyah actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Samaiyah's - Samaiyah has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“You list both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Which do you lean on with someone like me?”
Those two point in different directions - one structured and led by the therapist, the other led by you. The answer tells you what the sessions will actually feel like.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

Samaiyah's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
