Samantha Sandgren, LPC, PMH-C
Therapist. Mom. Someone who gets it.
I'm a licensed therapist, a mom of two, and someone who knows firsthand how messy and overwhelming life can feel during times of change.
Becoming a mom brought up things I didn't expect. Even with my background in counseling and child development, I struggled. I second guessed myself constantly, felt anxious much of the time, and found that old wounds I thought I'd moved past came back to the surface. That experience changed me, both personally and professionally, and it's a big part of why I do this work today.
That experience shapes the way I show up in my work. I take a holistic and relational approach, recognizing how past experiences, relationship patterns, and the demands of everyday life can impact emotional well-being. My work integrates approaches such as Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFT), mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Brainspotting (BSP) to help clients connect more deeply with themselves, process unresolved experiences, and move toward greater self compassion, clarity, and healing.
Whether you're feeling anxious, carrying the weight of past experiences, or finding yourself changed by becoming a parent, therapy can help you better understand yourself, process what's keeping you stuck, and move toward a life that feels more connected, intentional, and aligned with your values.
I help adults, and especially parents and parents-to-be—navigate anxiety, self-criticism, relationship challenges, and the lasting impact of earlier experiences so they can build healthier relationships, parent with greater intention, and feel more like themselves.

Anxiety & Emotional Overwhelm
You feel like your mind never shuts off. You're constantly worrying, overthinking, or feeling like you should be doing more, even when you're already carrying so much.

Childhood Wounds & Lasting Patterns
Explore how early experiences and attachment patterns still show up today, impacting your relationships, self trust, and the way you see yourself.

Pregnancy, Postpartum & Parenthood
Becoming a parent can bring joy, uncertainty, and challenges you never expected. This is a space to navigate pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood with support and compassion.
-
Birth Trauma
Your birth experience matters. If part of you still feels stuck in what happened, therapy can help you process it so it no longer feels like you're carrying it alone.

Brainspotting
Sometimes talking isn't enough. Brainspotting helps your brain and body process experiences on a deeper level so you can move forward with greater ease.
It’s your time to turn the tide.
Respond with intention, feel grounded in yourself, and create lasting security and connection for yourself, your children, and the people you love.
Ready to get started?
1. Reach Out
Start by scheduling a consultation or sending me a message. We’ll briefly talk through what’s bringing you to therapy, what support you’re looking for, and whether we feel like a good fit.
2. Show up
You don't need to show up in any particular way. This is a space where you can come as you are, bring whatever is on your mind, and feel supported without judgment.
3 . Find support
Together, we will focus on what feels most important to you, making sense of patterns that continue to show up and exploring experiences that still affect you. Along the way, you can build self compassion, confidence, and meaningful change.
