Samantha Dunn, LCSW

Samantha Dunn offers compassionate support for parents who feel overwhelmed by daily demands and invisible expectations. She often works with mothers who love their children but find themselves running on empty - coping with constant lists, meltdowns, and the heavy mental load of caregiving. Rather than labeling these struggles as laziness or failure, she approaches them as signs of exhaustion and unmet needs that can be addressed with practical strategies and empathic validation.

Samantha brings a warm, nonjudgmental style to therapy and helps clients reconnect with their sense of self beyond their caregiving role. She collaborates with each person to explore what is happening beneath the surface, to understand how diagnoses such as ADHD or anxiety may affect daily life, and to develop tools that fit the way their brain and routines actually work. Her focus includes building routines that reduce overwhelm, improving emotional regulation, and creating space for personal priorities without guilt.

Samantha holds an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - and uses client-centered approaches alongside evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused work. Her aim is to help clients feel more grounded, capable, and whole again, with practical skills they can apply between sessions. She invites those who are ready to move beyond merely getting through the day to explore supportive, realistic changes and to schedule a phone consultation to begin the process.
