Samantha Moeai is a dedicated Clinical Social Worker and therapist specializing in trauma-informed psychotherapy, with a focus on adults. Drawing from both Western and Eastern influences, she implements a three-phase model developed by Dr. Judith Herman—stabilization, reprocessing, and re-connection. In her practice, Samantha honors each individual's unique life history and delves into the significant impact it has on their functioning. Her understanding of the profound healing capabilities of the human brain allows her to view the challenges faced by her clients as pathways to recovery. Although she acknowledges that a completely sterile environment is unattainable, she is committed to creating a safe space for inner exploration. Central to her therapeutic approach are mindfulness, gratitude, compassion, and acceptance. With advanced training in various trauma-informed modalities, she investigates the intricacies of the human psyche and attachment dynamics. Recognizing that each client is distinct, Samantha skillfully employs a range of therapeutic tools—including Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), EMDR, and Art Therapy—to align with her clients' individual needs, empowering them to set their own goals and express their feelings through personalized strategies.
