Who is Sam?
I am Sam. Samantha Goldstein to be more precise. I am a Licensed Social Worker with my Masters of Social Work from Fordham University. I am a full time mom to a 13 year old boy as well as a full time working parent. I have found happiness through my career beyond what my younger self could have imagined. I have also personally transitioned into new arenas when my gut told me it was time to move forward. Throughout all my transitions, from therapist to headhunter for financial service firms to Director of a national employment company one thing has remained a constant- my passion and focus on working with clients, staff and leadership to find their strengths and bring their best self to the table to unleash their professional potential.
Who are my clients?
I work with people of all backgrounds and aspirations. My clients are men and women, older teens and young adults having difficulty launching. Some are on a career path that doesn’t feel authentic. Others are still in school yet lack the focus and consistent habits needed to make decisions that will propel them forward.
Every one of my clients is unique and brings their own experiences, skills and expertise to the process. The underlying commonality is all are looking to make that next step but are often unable to define what is not allowing them to progress as they desire.
Together, we explore the individual skills and strengths with a therapeutic lens to create the professional path to success.
Meeting You Where You Are At: The Sessions That Lead to Success
No one know you better than YOU. In our work together, I respect that you are the expert in you. You know what you like and what makes you smile. You know what you dislike and what causes frustration. You also know you are not where you are where you want to be. This is where my experience in facilitating shifts and habits can benefit you. Together we will examine where you are and where you hope to be to unlock your dreams. When it comes to defining and reaching goals, the process of working together involves a series of sessions that are geared towards simplifying complexities and fostering progress. These sessions typically revolve around open communication, goal setting, strategizing, and continuous evaluation of progress.
Sessions Overview:
Sessions are structured to facilitate productive discussions about goals, challenges, and potential solutions.
They involve active listening, brainstorming, and sharing insights to enhance the clarity of objectives.
Patterns of behaviors and habits are explored. This will facilitate meaningful insights into personal strengths as well as those that don’t serve you in achieving your goals. As a therapist and counselor, I have the skills and expertise to work with you to explore the patterns that both move forward and block your progress.
Each session aims to break down tasks into manageable steps and foster a sense of accountability.
