Meet Sami Wallshein, LMHC, NCC.

(she/her)
“Working with me means a safe and validating space is created for you and your child. It also means working from a strength-based perspective so that you and your family can rely on the relationship we have built.”
My Passion
I am passionate about helping children, teens, and adults better understand themselves and feel more at home in who they are. I especially enjoy working with highly sensitive and neurodivergent individuals who may have spent much of their lives feeling misunderstood or like they needed to be “less” of themselves.
I am particularly drawn to work surrounding grief, trauma, attachment, and the experiences that shape how we see ourselves and relate to others. Through play therapy, attachment-focused work, and inner-child approaches, I strive to create a nurturing space where clients can process difficult experiences, develop self-compassion, and build a greater sense of safety within themselves.
Let’s Work Together.
My Specialties Include
Anxiety & OCD
Autism & ADHD
Grief &Trauma
Attachment-Focused

Expertise
I have experience working with children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, OCD, ADHD, Autism and other forms of neurodivergence, grief and loss, trauma, attachment concerns, and challenges related to self-esteem and identity.
