About me
In the era of Covid 19, social unrest, and financial strain people are more than stressed. We can become stuck. While we have labels for these things, the bottom-line is we get stuck and we can become unstuck. I am s seasoned helper who has been in the mental health field for over 30 years. I have a strong background in addiction, trauma and life transitions. My strengths are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing/Change Theory, Solution-Focused Therapy and EMDR. But, I believe there are many ways to getting unstuck found in ones own personal curiosity, creativity, and experiences.
Samantha Thornton is a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. She has over 30 years’ experience in the mental health field.
