Email about Samantha

Samantha Vazquez is a licensed clinical professional counselor and certified grief counseling specialist. She was inspired to become a counselor after her own experiences in therapy in early childhood, and she values therapy because she believes that individuals have the power to change their lives if they are willing to examine and explore the deepest parts of themselves.

Before joining our team, Samantha amassed extensive experience helping families manage the heavy burdens of grief and loss. At Willis CC, while she specializes in trauma-related work, Samantha also looks forward to working with guests who are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief, and loss.

Those who’ve spent time with Samantha would describe her as warm, kind, funny, and down to Earth. She enjoys working with guests who are open to feedback and willing to try new approaches to their issues or struggles, and she loves the feeling of making a positive difference in someone's day/life. Guests can look forward to being challenged to achieve their goals within a warm, supportive, and

encouraging environment.

When she’s not working, Samantha enjoys baking, yoga, and surrounding herself with others who are kind and have a sense of humor. She’s a West Virginia native, an introvert, and loves spending time with her partner, walking her dog, and watching reality TV.

“Whether you think you can or can’t, you are right.”
