About Sam Kipfinger, MSW
You don’t have to carry this all on your own.
I’m an Florida-based therapist who specializes in working with teenagers and young adults struggling with Anxiety, Life Transitions and Religious Trauma.
please Hear me when I say:
Being here doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means you’re strong.
I want you to know that seeking help is a sign of resilience, not failure. It shows your willingness to face challenges, confront fears, and grow into the best version of yourself. You’re taking control of your healing journey, and that’s something to be proud of. Together, we’ll create a path forward toward growth, understanding, and lasting change.
How I work
At the core of my approach to therapy is a belief that every individual has the capacity for growth, healing, and positive change.
In session with me, I believe in creating a safe, supportive space where you can explore your emotions without fear of judgment or criticism. This is a space where you are encouraged to be your authentic self, allowing us to work through difficult feelings, past experiences, and current challenges at your own pace. Together, we’ll uncover your strengths and resources, empowering you to gain clarity and confidence. By focusing on your unique needs and goals, we’ll work toward building the skills and mindset necessary to create a more fulfilling, balanced life, one step at a time.
