Hello! My name is Samantha Hampton and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I provide psychotherapy to teens, individuals, and families virtually throughout California. I have experience serving children and families within the child welfare system in the Bay Area for over 5 years. I graduated from San Francisco State University with my Master's in Social Work and Bachelors in Science from Cal State East Bay in Sociology.
I am a licensed therapist in the state of California specializing in the treatment of trauma, anxiety and depression. I received my undergraduate degree from the University of St Andrews, Scotland, and my masters (MA) in counseling psychology from The Wright Institute in Berkeley, CA. Entering the field after working as an advocate for women suffering from physical and sexual violence, I have over 8 years of experience working with traumatized individuals.
I am vegan, sober, and queer. I am a cancer survivor as of August 2024. I love all things spooky, tattoos, and Halloween. I have 3 rescue doggies!
