Samantha Commarato

Samantha Commarato is a board-certified and licensed art therapist with 20 years of experience working with youth, teens, adults, and families. She employs a creative approach to support individuals in exploring their interpersonal, emotional, and behavioral needs. Samantha believes that every person has the inner resources necessary to achieve their goals. Her therapeutic practice focuses on collaboration and creating a comfortable, relaxed, and safe environment that nurtures creative expression and personal growth. Art Therapy, a specialized field that utilizes the creative process, allows clients to explore their emotions, behaviors, relationships, and life experiences. Grounded in established psychotherapy approaches and theories, Art Therapy encourages deep engagement in the creative process, leading to greater insights into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Art making serves as an effective tool for exploring emotional experiences and thought patterns, offering a unique dimension of communication and expression that other forms of psychotherapy may not provide. In her practice, Samantha creates a casual space where both youth and adults can openly address their concerns.
