Sam Scelsi (she/her), LPC
I specialize in:
- Boundaries and communication style
- Work / life balance or school / life balance
- Confidence and self esteem
- Stress management
- Navigating life changes
- Teens
My main goal is to create a warm, safe, comfortable space for clients.
One of the most important parts of therapy is having a strong therapeutic relationship. That just so happens to be my favorite part of my job as well. Building rapport with clients and providing them with a welcoming space to be themselves and share their experiences with no judgement or shame will always be my priority.
I show up as my authentic self to sessions and encourage my client to do the same. I bring warmth, empathy, and compassion to sessions. I value being realistic, relatable, and direct as well.
My Journey:
I have my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Cabrini University. After Cabrini, I went right to Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM) and earned my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I started my career in a Partial Hospitalization Program / Intensive Outpatient program working with both adolescents and adults struggling with various mental health and substance use disorders.
I also have experience working with children, teens, and adults in outpatient settings. My comprehensive experiences have provided me with knowledge and tools to support clients and I look forward to continuing to learn and grow.
Outside of therapy you can find me…
I love a good workout class, trying new coffee spots, and going for long walks with my dog who is a lab/pit mix and full of energy. I love spending time with friends and family but will never pass up a night in with take out catching up on my favorite TV shows. I love all things Bravo and a dream of mine is to go to a live SNL show.
