I offer counseling and talk therapy services; however, I do not currently offer psychological testing. I am Sam Bearer, a licensed professional counselor with 9 years of experience working with individuals and couples from diverse cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. I specialize in helping clients work through emotional, relational, and interpersonal issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, anger, sexual issues, family and relationship dynamics, self-image and identity, communication, and mood and personality disorders.

I hold a master's in counseling from Covenant Theological Seminary. My approach draws on multiple therapeutic modes, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, internal family systems, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, so I can stay flexible as each client explores their unique internal experience.

I love helping clients find self-acceptance as they explore their inner world and chart their own path forward. I'd love to get to know you and help you live in alignment with your values. When you need a partner to help you process life's difficulties with expertise and compassion, reach out to schedule an appointment.

I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 6 years of experience supporting adults facing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, and other mood and thought-related challenges. I provide a warm, grounded space for clients who want to better understand themselves, build emotional balance, and create sustainable change. My goal is to meet each person with clarity, compassion, and evidence-based care.

I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice from Walden University. My approach blends clinical expertise with a whole-person lens, using evidence-based treatments tailored to individual needs. I work collaboratively with clients to explore symptoms, strengthen insight, and develop practical strategies that support long-term stability and well-being.

I am here to help you feel understood, supported, and empowered as you navigate what comes next. Together, we will identify your goals and create a plan that meets you where you are. You do not have to face your challenges alone. I would be honored to partner with you in building the healthier, more grounded life you deserve.
