Hello
My name is Sam Scelsi and I am an Associate Counselor at Reflections Counseling & Wellness. I am a Licensed Associate Counselor in the state of New Jersey and graduated from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine with a Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling. In addition to having a passion for helping others, in my free time, I enjoy exercising, spending time with friends, and curling up with my dog, Charlie, to binge-watch a new show.
My Story
Most of my career has been spent working with adolescents and adults coping with anxiety, depression, and co-occurring substance use disorders in Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP).
I believe that clients are unique, and therefore their experience in therapy should be too. Although I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), it is important for me to individualize my approach to meet your goals for counseling.
I understand that struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma can be isolating and the process of starting therapy can be intimidating or overwhelming. Clients that work with me can expect to be provided with a warm, empathetic, and personable environment to heal and grow.
So if you are ready to take the leap and begin your counseling journey, know that I am right here to take that step with you.
