Samantha Shuey

MA

Sam just recently joined Love the Journey as she continues on her path to licensure after earning her Master of Arts in Counseling and Psychology Services from Saint Mary’s University in Minnesota in December of 2023. With 7 years of experience working in the mental health field, Sam has been working in private practice for the last two years. Prior to that, Sam has spent time working in a Day Treatment setting while working with adolescents and teens. Sam has also spent time working with incarcerated individuals while running group therapy as well as working in the psychiatric unit at the hospital in Minneapolis. 

Sam strives to make sessions feel like a safe space to be yourself and feel comfortable. Sam tends to take a Holistic and Psychodynamic approach to therapy as well as utilize a person-centered focus as Sam believes that each person’s experience is unique. She aims to focus on the person themselves. Sam also may utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with other evidence-based approaches. 

When not in the office, Sam likes to spend her time outdoors with her horses and dogs. Sam enjoys reading, puzzles, and exercising as forms of self-care. 

She is looking forward to working with each one of you and to support you along your journey of healing.
