Samantha Hatchett LCSW

As a teen, I struggled with undiagnosed depression and anxiety. My school counseling office was a place I was very familiar with and led to my deep interest in mental health, neuro, and psychological theory. My own journey of growth and the support systems that were built have made all of the difference in finding my path to happiness and contentedness. My goal now is to help others find their way out of the struggle and into the light.

My experience comes from combination of time spent working in several areas of Child / Family development and clinical therapeutic settings. I have worked within the foster care field, including training with Dr. Bruce Perry (author of What Happened to You) and Dr. Karyn Purvis (author of The Connected Child), where I helped vet and train families interested in fostering children. I have experience as a facilitator of parenting education classes for parents working through CPS requirements. I also have several years of experience facilitating group therapy, individual therapy, and family therapy in the setting of partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) therapeutic settings with teens dealing with varying issues ranging from depression and anxiety, to behavioral issues, to self-harm and suicidal ideations.
