Under Clinical Supervision

Ms. Samantha Vanegas, Licensed Associate Counselor, 37AC00736100 is practicing under the supervision of Titania Grant (New Jersey, LPC, 37PC00679600) at TG Counseling and Consulting Services LLC.

Please, note: A clinician listed as being “clinically supervised” is completing clinical hours toward their licensure. They have one or more fully licensed clinical supervisors that often have special training to become supervisors. They consult with their supervisor(s) on all of their cases, which means that, when working with them, you are getting the time and expertise of multiple therapists in your treatment.

What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?

From a young age, I’ve been fascinated by understanding people through both psychological and social lenses, and I knew from high school that I wanted to pursue a career in this field. My initial interest stemmed from a personal desire to develop coping strategies for myself and to support others in their mental health journeys, especially when therapy wasn’t accessible to them.

What would be important for someone to know about working with you?

People considering working with me should know that I take a person-centered, holistic approach to therapy, meeting each client where they are in their journey. I believe clients are the experts in their own lives, and my goal is to build trust and foster collaboration, creating a supportive space for healing and growth.

I take a holistic approach with every client, recognizing that they are the experts in their own lives.
