Samantha (Tratchel) Wepking, LISW 

Lead Clinician

I value inclusivity, compassion, and authenticity- including how it shows up in the therapeutic space. I use a strengths-based and trauma-informed approach and bring in an array of methods to best fit each client’s needs. Starting therapy can be for numerous reasons, whether the focus is working through life transitions, difficult challenges, or barriers or working to understand how your experiences have impacted how you move through the world. I work with each client to understand, discover, and pursue the best path for them. I would be happy to discuss your overall goals and support you in this process.

I am the Lead Behavioral Health Clinician out of CFI’s Main office. I primarily work with adolescents and adults within the LGBTQIA+ community, individuals who have experienced sexual abuse, domestic violence, and overall complex trauma. I utilize various modalities, and I am trained in EMDR. As a queer person, I know how important having a safe and affirming space is. Each person is worthy of having a space to explore change, build connections, and feel hope.
