About Me
Adults
My adult clients often report
feeling held back by anxiety,
depression, or life circumstances.
My approach promotes deep
self-exploration and growth while
teaching skills to relieve
distressing symptoms, fast.
Hello! I'm Dr. Samantha Brustad and helping teens and adults overcome life's challenges is what I do best.
My mission is to help people quiet that self-critical voice that stops you from chasing your dreams and leaves you feeling stuck. I want to help you overcome self-doubt in order to achieve your goals and feel confident about the person you are.
Through our work together, you can develop the self-awareness, resilience and compassion needed to lead a life that is fulfilling and purpose driven.
Kids
Parents often express frustration, guilt & concern when they have witnessed their child struggle emotionally, socially or academically.
When working with children, my aim is to determine the root cause of your child’s struggles, help you gain a clear understanding about what is going on, and provide practical treatment options.
Teens
As an admittedly "angsty teen" myself,
I enjoy working with young people
undergoing the normal, yet painful
process of identity development.
Therapy can provide your teen
with a safe space to explore emotions and learn to express themselves.
Dr. Brustad treats a wide range of psychological issues
experienced by children, teens & young adults.
