Master of Science, Licensed Mental Health Counselor-Hawaii, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor-Montana, Licensed Professional Counselor-Wyoming, National Certified Counselor
My name is Samantha Kessler and I’m the founder of Kesser’s Counseling.
I have a Master of Science degree in Mental Health Counseling. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Hawaii, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Montana and a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Wyoming. I am also a National Certified Counselor by the National Board for Certified Counselors and hold certifications as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP-II) and a Certified Mental Health & Nutrition Clinical Specialist (CMNCS).
I have over a decade of experience working in a variety of fields, including but not limited to trauma, early childhood development, crisis, group therapy, case management, psychological assessments, intensive-in-home therapy, infertility, and private practice working with children, adolescents, adults, first-responders, couples and families. My passion is working with law enforcement, first responders, Veterans, and police departments and agencies during critical incidents, OIS reviews, new hire psychological assessments, and psychological fit for duty evaluations. Currently, my private practice focuses on working with law enforcement and EMDR.
With a strong background in clinical and diagnostic assessments due to my professional experience with families, psychological assessments, and a personal passion and knowledge about the field of fertility, I also work closely with Thallo Health, and have continued my professional growth in the field of infertility through research and involvement as a professional member of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, ASRM Mental Health Professional Group, and the Society for Ethics in Egg Donation and Surrogacy.
I take an integrated approach to therapy. While I have some favorite theories, I never decide what I will be using ahead of meeting my clients. Regardless of what’s going on, or what your goals are, you and your needs will always be my focus. I will hold you accountable while encouraging you. I will laugh with you and I may cry with you too. My job is to help you achieve happiness, balance, and peace. The theoretical approach I will use will depend entirely on you. Due to my training and experience, I am able to use different theoretical practices that align with your beliefs, goals, your culture and the tools you have to work with. Whatever it is that you need, I will be a champion for your success.
If you are questioning whether or not you need counseling or if it would benefit you, I would just point out, you are researching it and made it to this site. That might be a pretty good sign that it’s worth a try.
If you are willing to put in the work, I am with you. I will be the counselor you can trust and provide a service that meets your needs. What are you waiting for?
