I'm So Glad You're Here
You’re the reliable one. The one who gets things done, who people count on. From the outside, it looks like you’re doing just fine. But under the surface, you’re tired. Not just tired-tired—but exhausted from holding so much for so long.
I work with women who are outwardly high-functioning but privately struggling. Many of my clients carry the long-term effects of complex trauma—usually not from one defining event, but from years of adapting, pleasing, and staying small to stay safe.
You’ve made it work with the tools you have. But now, you might be ready for a new way through—one rooted in safety, curiosity, and real connection.
In our work together, you don’t have to explain everything right away. You don’t have to hold it all together. I offer a space that’s collaborative and flexible—where we can explore what’s underneath the surface and start to untangle what’s no longer serving you.
Whatever you’re carrying, you don’t have to do it alone.
And how you feel right now isn’t how you’ll always feel.
If you're ready to feel a little more supported—and a little more like yourself again—I'd be honored to walk alongside you.

Trauma-informed therapy for women in Washington State
Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma, Spokane, Vancouver, Olympia
Samantha Halfen, MA, LMHC
My area of focus is working with women with a trauma history who are healing from family of origin issues, attachment and relationship difficulties, or simply want to improve their coping skills during a stressful phase of life. In working with me, you’ll find I bring a personal approach in sharing of myself and humor to lighten what can be difficult topics to discuss. Feel free to reach out to me for a consultation to learn if we’d be a good fit in working together.
As a native to the Pacific Northwest, I love getting outdoors with my family and enjoying all the natural beauty that surrounds us. We are truly blessed to live in Washington State for it’s scenery, climate, economy, diversity, and progressive values. Even though I grew up here, I still find myself making new discoveries and I’m proud to call this place home!

Walk and talk therapy
EMDR
Online Therapy
I offer Walk and Talk Therapy as a unique and effective approach to mental health support, combining movement with traditional talk therapy. This outdoor, nature-based therapy allows clients to engage in meaningful conversations while walking, promoting relaxation, mindfulness, and emotional processing. Walking side by side can create a more comfortable and open space for discussing challenges, making it an excellent option for those who find traditional office settings restrictive. This approach is beneficial for managing stress, anxiety, and depression while incorporating the therapeutic benefits of physical activity and nature.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an effective treatment for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and other distressing experiences. EMDR helps reprocess painful memories using guided eye movements or bilateral stimulation, reducing their emotional impact and promoting healing. This evidence-based approach allows clients to gain relief from past trauma, shift negative beliefs, and move forward with greater resilience. Through a structured and supportive process, I help individuals work through their experiences in a safe and effective way.
I provide telehealth therapy sessions through secure video, offering flexible availability on most weekdays and some evenings. My approach is tailored to support individuals dealing with Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, and PTSD, creating a safe and accessible space for healing and growth.
