Sam Stettler (he/him) is a Clinical Social Work Intern from the University of Maryland, Baltimore School of Social Work. He is currently finishing his MSW degree with a concentration in Behavioral Health.

Sam believes that each client has the expertise and intuition about their own lives to create meaningful change. Therapists provide the needed support and guidance to then allow the client to tap into their inner strength and become the architect of a better life. Sam believes that small steps, consistency, and a mindset of continuous improvement are essential elements for personal growth.

Sam has a background in competitive athletics and Exercise Science, which shapes his views on overall wellness. A firm believer in the transformative power of physical activity, Sam sees exercise as foundational to any mental health improvement effort. Caring for one’s physical body creates good habits and puts the individual into an optimal position to engage in the challenging mental/emotional work that lies ahead.

Professionally, Sam’s approach to therapy is flexible, depending on client needs. His approach includes elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), collaborative problem solving, and solution focused brief therapy (SFBT).
