Hi! My name is Sam and welcome to Breakthrough Wellness Center! I am the founder of this program and I am here to help others find hope, healing, and self-understanding. As someone who was born into poverty and dysfunction, I know firsthand about life’s up’s and down’s and how difficult making a change can be. I have worked with people from all backgrounds and pride myself on making connections. I strive to help clients feel accepted and understood by providing a collaborative, non-judgmental, authentic experience. I believe that you are the expert, and that therapy is a guide to help you process and find solutions to a better life. I look forward to meeting you!
