About
Samantha Dyke
Hi, I am Samantha, I go by Sam (she/her)! My passion for the arts and a desire to help others started at Florida State University where I earned my Masters in Art Therapy. I know first hand that words are not always enough when it comes to expressing difficult emotions. Through drawing, painting, and building creations, I found an outlet for emotions/thoughts and I strive to provide that outlet to my clients. Sometimes it takes a little creativity to begin to make positive changes. Throughout my years in practice, I continue to expand on utilizing different evidence based therapeutic modalities while keeping the creativity. I strive to provide a supportive and collaborative healing environment and believe that being met with compassion is essential to making change. I specialize in treating anxiety and depressive disorders in adolescents and adults. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Exposure and Response Prevention.

01.
I believe that everyone is capable of change! I know change can be scary and intimidating and it takes courage to make the first step in seeking help. I use evidence-based practices with my clients which include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (skills based). I have also been trained in Exposure and Response Prevention. I also include art therapy when requested by clients.

Individual Therapy can help if...
-you are struggling with daily life stressors
-need assistance with coping with maladaptive thoughts or have difficulty regulating emotions
-would like an outside perspective or a confidential ear to listen
03.
Art therapy is for everyone! Things I hear all the time..."I am not good at art" or "do you draw for me?" You do not have to be "good" at art as art therapy is about the process! I won't judge your artwork as it is special to you and you hold the meaning. All you need are some basic art supplies (paper, markers, colored pencils, pens, anything that can be used to create!).
