About Samantha Blancher, LMFT

Hi, I’m Samantha Blancher, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). As a trauma-informed, attachment-based therapist, I work from a relational framework to help couples and individuals navigate and embrace their emotional worlds and relationships. My goal is to create a space of curiosity and safety, allowing my clients to express their most authentic selves. I aim to foster deeper connections, collaborative healing, and meaningful dialogue.

Therapeutic Approach

I’m a Level 1 Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapist and have received extensive training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), a research-supported framework. With these approaches, along with my warmth and lightheartedness, I work to help clients transform patterns of conflict into understanding, compassion, and connection.

As an ally to the LGBTQ+ community, I affirm non-monogamous relationships and am committed to anti-racist practices. I approach therapy with cultural humility, recognizing the unique experiences of each individual.

I offer virtual sessions to clients across Virginia, and I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward growth and healing.
