Lester Samson

As a compassionate and dedicated therapist, my journey has been shaped by a deep understanding of the complexities surrounding anxiety, depression, and identity. With a focus on a person-centered approach, I strive to create a safe and affirming space for individuals navigating the intricate landscapes of their mental and emotional health.

My work primarily centers on supporting members of the LGBTQIA+ community, where I recognize the unique challenges related to gender identity, body image, and societal pressures. Having witnessed firsthand the struggles that many face, I am committed to fostering resilience and self-acceptance. I believe that every person deserves to feel seen and valued for who they truly are.

Additionally, I have a strong focus on the experiences of BIPOC individuals, understanding that cultural context and systemic barriers can significantly impact mental health. I aim to honor these narratives and address the intersections of race, identity, and wellness in our sessions, promoting empowerment and healing.

Grief and bereavement are also central themes in my practice. I provide a supportive environment for those coping with loss, recognizing that grief can manifest in many forms and is a deeply personal journey. My role is to accompany you through this process, offering empathy and guidance as you navigate your feelings.

In working with anxiety and depression, I emphasize the importance of personalized strategies that align with your unique experiences and needs. Together, we will explore your thoughts and feelings, allowing for a deeper understanding of the challenges you face and the strengths you possess.

I am here to listen, validate, and support you on your path to healing and self-discovery. My goal is to empower you to embrace your identity, process your emotions, and cultivate a sense of belonging and peace within yourself. Let’s work together to create a narrative that honors your experiences and aspirations.
