SAMADHIAGILKEY
Hello
Hello, my name is Samadhia, and I am a Marriage and Family Therapist/Clinical Professional Counselor Intern working under the supervision of Saritha Farris. As Marriage and Family Therapists, we are trained to view each client as part of a greater whole. Each client is unique in how they affect and are affected by their family, environment, society, culture, and spirituality. I take the time to look at each of these elements to see how they play a role in the client’s presenting problems. This is a holistic approach to therapy, and I work in collaboration with each client to determine the best solutions that work for them. I believe in a warm and friendly approach when working with clients. I believe that the client is the expert on their own life, so I try to meet them where they’re at and walk with them as we search for solutions and develop goals.
My Story
I am a Clinical Social Work Intern. Samadhia was influenced by her own experiences in therapy to start her journey as a therapist and has worked to dispel the stigma and negative perceptions held within culturally diverse communities. Her focus has been on working with individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds and communities across the region, and her willingness to see people thrive has fueled her passion.
