MEET SAMANTHA BRAY, LCSW
Your new guide and ally on the path to gaining peace of mind.
I bring a rich research and analytical background to inform my practice, but clients experience me as deeply compassionate and warm. My approach is shaped by both evidence-based knowledge and the intuitive wisdom gained from my personal life experiences and 10 years as a clinical therapist. Rather than adhering to a single methodology, I embrace a holistic perspective, seeing each client as a unique individual with distinct needs. This allows me to adapt my approach to what will best serve you, drawing from various modalities while maintaining a genuine, caring connection throughout our work together. I specialize in helping adults worldwide transform their lives by reimagining their relationship with OCD and severe anxiety.
I believe that the mental habits of OCD often mask extraordinary gifts – gifts that, when properly channeled, can become your greatest professional and personal assets.
As someone who specializes in working with high-achieving professionals – including lawyers, doctors, executives, actors, musicians, athletes and graduate students – I've witnessed how these traits can be transformed from sources of distress into powerful career advantages. My approach goes beyond traditional OCD treatment by integrating evidence-based exposure work with mindfulness techniques, creating a comprehensive framework that honors both your intellectual depth and emotional intelligence.
