My name is Dr. Samantha Juliene and I am a PsyD/LCSW who is licensed in CA, NY, UT, AZ, FL, DE, TX and ME.
I earned my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at California Southern University, Master’s in Clinical Social Work at the University of Southern California and my Bachelor’s degree from New York University. Beyond my clinical practice, I run a nonprofit for survivors of institutional abuse and conversion therapy, where we provide free resources.
Our Work Together…
As a therapist, my goal is to provide a space for you to be authentically who you are, without judgment. I provide support during the hard times, ask tough questions when necessary, and work with you to find practical solutions to your challenges. I aim to forge a deep and trusting relationship so that you feel comfortable discussing your most protected thoughts and feelings. There are no quick fixes, but developing life skills, improving self-respect, and connecting deeply with loved ones can be key in building wholeness in mind, body, and spirit. Please see our specialties page for all of the areas I practice. My main focus is IFS and DBT.
