Samuel Parton

Working in schools and foster care settings for years, Sam is an expert in child and adolescent therapy. He utilizes two of the leading therapies, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). With CBT, Sam helps clients change unhelpful thought processes and behavioral patterns and aids clients in bravely facing their fears. While with DBT, he helps clients learn better emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. He is passionate about building connections and assists clients in finding strengths and skills within themselves to work through any struggles they might be experiencing. With a focus on goal-oriented treatment, Sam works with his clients to determine their goals and how to best capitalize both their personal strengths and utilize their established and potential support systems. Clients say they feel welcome and heard in session and that they develop the confidence they can work through whatever difficulties they’re facing. People say they enjoy Sam’s well-placed humor and approachable demeanor. Beyond his love for therapy, he works as a school athletics coach, which gives him insights into the needs of athletes. He provides sessions after school, so they are convenient for children to attend, and provides a free 15-minute consultation call to see if he is a good fit to help.
