Background

About Samantha Clair

I am a licensed professional counselor at Mindful Health in Georgetown, TX, and I am thrilled to be part of a company that embraces a holistic approach to client care. I graduated from Sam Houston State University with a master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2020. My undergraduate studies in Psychology at California State University, Channel Islands were some of my most cherished years, filled with incredible learning experiences and lifelong friendships. My professional journey includes four transformative years at SAAFE House, where I worked as a counselor and advocate for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. This experience profoundly shaped me, and I am passionate about continuing to grow my skills in trauma-informed therapies. I am committed to lifelong learning and professional development and to advocating for my clients. My theoretical foundation is in cognitive-behavioral therapy, complemented by a person-centered and integrative approach. I am dedicated to empowering my clients, helping them shift from negative thinking to more realistic and positive thoughts. I believe in meeting clients where they are and recognize that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to counseling. In addition to my counseling experience, I have over 10 years of customer service experience and have served as an office manager for a psychiatrist for three years. These roles have honed my empathic responses and understanding of diverse perspectives. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am a quick learner, always maintaining an open-minded and growth-oriented attitude. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, creating art, practicing yoga, caring for my house plants, exploring new places, traveling, photography, and spending time with family and friends. I am also a bit obsessed with my cat, Cadillac. I am passionate about helping others and excel at building and maintaining trust. My loyalty and dedication to my work are matched by my enthusiasm for continuous personal and professional growth.
