Sam Kuntz, a dedicated Clinical Social Worker and Therapist, has spent over ten years in the mental health and addiction treatment field, culminating in the creation of IBG Counseling. Sam is driven by the belief that the most vital relationship in an individual's life is the one they hold with themselves. Often, this relationship is neglected or harmed due to various life circumstances, which can inhibit personal growth. Rather than merely managing symptoms, Sam emphasizes the profound benefits of understanding the underlying issues that contribute to each person's struggles. Sam holds a firm belief that every individual is inherently good and is committed to helping clients recognize their intrinsic value, uncover the root causes of their challenges, and develop the confidence to live authentically. With expertise in areas including addiction, trauma and PTSD, and mood disorders, Sam utilizes a variety of therapeutic modalities such as Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, tailored to the unique needs of individuals. With experience in both individual and group therapy settings, Sam is passionate about guiding clients—adolescents, teens, and adults alike—on their journey of self-exploration and empowerment.
