My name is Samantha Schall, and I am currently completing my practicum at Kinder Mind while pursuing my Master of Social Work degree at the University of Kentucky. I bring over eight years of professional experience in recruitment, program management, and community outreach. Throughout my career, I have focused on helping individuals access opportunities, guiding them through transitions, and building partnerships that expand resources for underserved populations.
In my practicum, I am particularly interested in supporting clients facing trauma and chronic mental health challenges. I am committed to applying trauma-informed care, cultural humility, and evidence-based practices to create a safe, collaborative space for healing and growth. My goal is to continue developing the clinical and advocacy skills needed to serve individuals and communities with compassion and integrity.

Meet Julia! She is a practicum student at the University of Kentucky, currently training in clinical social work. You can expect enthusiastic support while working with her in a client-centered environment where you're safe to unravel the thoughts you've been carrying alone.
Julia believes therapy is not one-size-fits-all so she tailors her approach to fit your individual needs. Julia usually works with evidence-based practices such as Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Humanistic Theory and is happy to use alternative theories if she believes it's a better fit!  

With experience as a victim advocate, she has worked extensively with adolescents and families affected by trauma. Her particular passion lies in assisting clients with body image issues, relationship issues and the process of rediscovering yourself after a turbulent upbringing.

In Julia's downtime, she recharges with roadtrips, swimming and cuddling her cats Biscuit and Muffin! Julia is here to cheer you on!

Welcome! I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about how to move forward, you're not alone. I work with individuals just like you—people who want to break free from the frustration of feeling like you're not making progress.

I’ve spent years working with people of all ages in educational and non-profit settings, so I understand the many pressures life can place on us.

As a daughter, wife, and parent, I understand firsthand the joy and struggles of balancing faith, marriage, family life, work, and personal wellness.

My approach combines proven, evidence-based therapies with a deeper exploration of your personal values. Together, we’ll work through your challenges in a way that feels authentic to who you are. I also offer faith-based counseling for those desiring this integration; however, my practice is welcoming to everyone.
