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.
“Connection is why we're here. We are hardwired to connect with others, it's what gives purpose and meaning to our lives, and without it there is suffering.”
