Samantha Winters

Samantha Winters is the Assistant Director of the Renewing Life Center. She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist that provides a safe place to explore and expand awareness. She helps individuals, couples, and families learn practical tools that they can implement in their lives daily. These tools, provided on an individual and relational level, can create a more positive and healthier outlook regarding the challenges that life presents. Samantha is trained in EMDR therapy, assisting clients in overcoming negative emotions and behaviors related to past trauma.

Samantha approaches therapy from an Emotionally Focused perspective where understanding and experiencing underlying emotions can often lead to change and growth on a personal level as well as in relationships. In working with couples, she focuses on helping the couple understand the "dance" that leads to a disconnect in the relationship.

Samantha works with families and children in the midst of high conflict circumstances, approaching family therapy from a structural perspective, helping realign the hierarchy within the home. She is certified in a positive discipline parenting course that provides parent and family coaching to enhance respect and understanding amongst family members. She also has experience working with children in the foster care system who have been exposed to extensive trauma.
