ABOUT US
Therapy With Understanding and Compassion
We get it. It's real. A fresh view can make the impossible possible.
We provide cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to older children, adolescents, and adults. We think creatively and sensitively about crafting language to foster more effective communication in relationships, thereby reducing stress and conflict.
OUR SPECIALTIES INCLUDE:
Anxiety-based Disorders
Depression
AD/HD
Mood Disorders
General Feelings of Low Self-worth
OBSTACLES
Therapists Who Understand Challenging Perspectives
At Westport Perspective, we help people identify the situations/patterns that tend to cause "fight or flight" most often, acknowledge the physiological response, and offer personalized, concrete tools to ameliorate symptoms, thereby reducing fear, panic, and anxiety. When fear has less power over us, we have the opportunity to live a more satisfying life and increase our confidence.
Life is complicated. Learn more about the obstacles we face.
Samantha's direct and compassionate approach allows for honesty, vulnerability, and most importantly growth.
