About
Samantha Ardoin
Hi, my name is Sam. In May 2021, I graduated from Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado with my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a concentration in Mindfulness-based Transpersonal Counseling.
I strive to bring a sense of playfulness, creativity, and reverence to therapy with individuals, couples, and groups. For me, awareness in relationship is the core of psychotherapy. Being able to grow your capacity to stay present with your experiences can allow for change and growth in any area of your life. Having a warm person with whom you feel safe accompanying you on your path can revitalize and ease the process of change.
I specialize in both trauma recovery and group therapy.

I have specialized training in group therapy and am a longstanding member of the American Group Psychotherapy Association.
I am currently looking for clients interested in forming a new group that will integrate Trauma-Focused Psychodynamic Interpersonal Process and Journal Therapy. I have 6 spots open for this group, so please reach out if you are interested before these spots are filled.

I am not currently offering any community groups, however I am passionate about finding creative ways to build community and heal together. I have enjoyed leading Grief Groups and Creative Writing Groups, as well as community activism groups ending in a project. If you have a community in need and would like a group leader to lead a community or therapy group in your community, please reach out.
