He/Him/They/Them
Samuel
is a therapist at Two Chairs.
Dr. Sam believes that psychotherapy is a powerful way to better understand ourselves, our relationships, and the patterns that shape our lives. His approach is relational and process-oriented, grounded in the firm belief that meaningful change begins when a person feels genuinely seen and heard. In his practice, Dr. Sam focuses on building a strong, collaborative relationship with clients, carefully balancing deep emotional insight with practical tools for daily life. He encourages curiosity and honesty as central pillars of the therapeutic journey.

Outside of the office, Dr. Sam finds balance through time with family, exploring the art of cooking and baking, and finding peace along the shores of the Puget Sound.
