About Samella
Hello, and welcome. My name is Samella Jolly, LCSW, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly 20 years of experience supporting individuals, families, and communities through life's challenges. My professional background spans medical social work, behavioral health, crisis intervention, chronic illness support, homelessness services, child and family programs, and outpatient mental health treatment. I believe that therapy should be a supportive and collaborative space where you can feel understood, and empowered. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, caregiver fatigue, trauma, or the emotional impact of chronic health conditions, I am committed to helping you identify strengths, develop coping strategies, and move toward your personal goals. My approach is person-centered, trauma-informed, and strengths-based. I draw from evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness-based techniques. I tailor treatment to meet each individual's unique needs, recognizing that healing and growth look different for everyone. Throughout my career, I have worked with diverse populations, including adults, older adults, individuals experiencing homelessness, people living with chronic medical conditions, individuals affected by HIV/AIDS, caregivers, and families navigating complex systems of care. My experience in hospital settings, community mental health programs, and public service has given me a deep appreciation for the resilience people demonstrate even during their most difficult moments. Working with these populations has allowed me to provide an understanding approach to addressing the need of clients. I strive to create a therapeutic environment where clients feel safe exploring challenges, building self-awareness, and creating meaningful change. Seeking support is a courageous step, and I would be honored to be part of your journey.
