DR. SAMUEL SAVAGE

The most important thing to know about me as a therapist is that I deeply value the relationship we build together. Therapy isn’t just about techniques or theories — it’s about feeling seen, heard, and truly supported. I believe the most powerful part of therapy is creating a space where you feel safe to be your full, authentic self — not just accepted, but genuinely welcomed.

My style is warm, collaborative, and compassionate. Sometimes that looks like validating what you’re going through; other times, it means gently challenging patterns that no longer serve you — always in a way that feels safe, empowering, and grounded in trust.

I work with adolescents (12+), adults, and older adults across all genders, sexual identities, and cultural backgrounds. I’m especially passionate about supporting people who are exploring their identities, seeking deeper insight into their relationships, or navigating personal and generational trauma.

I have extensive experience working with LGBTQIA+ communities and am committed to providing affirming, inclusive care. During my doctoral training, I was an active participant in the LGBTQIA+ Trauma Track, where I received specialized education in culturally responsive, trauma-informed care for sexual and gender minorities. Throughout my academic and clinical journey, affirming care has always remained a central focus of my work.

Rooted in attachment theory and modern psychodynamic approaches, my work is always tailored to you — your history, your goals, your pace. I offer therapy that is trauma-informed, affirming, and socially conscious, with a deep respect for the cultural and systemic forces that shape our lives. At its heart, therapy with me is about co-creating a space where you can reconnect with yourself, heal, and grow into who you truly are
