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.

I am a Intern in my second year of Masters of Social Worker 4 years of experience working with clients who experience a wide range of symptoms and concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, drug use, PTSD, domestic abuse, OCD, and ADHD. I have also worked with many people who have experienced trauma and emotional abuse with sex work and trafficking survivors.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, trauma focused, solution focused, and acceptance and commitment therapy.  I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

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!

Hi, my name is Jada (she/her) and I am working toward receiving my license to be a clinical social worker (LCSW). I enjoy using trauma-informed approaches that center psychodynamic strategies, dialectical behavior therapy, and culturally-inclusive care. I have specialized experience in interpersonal violence prevention (DV/SV), youth advocacy, and promoting intersectionality through a systems framework. I have additional experience working with neurodiversity, LGBTQIA+, anxiety, PTSD, and depression. I love to bake, paint, and write spoken word in my free time while learning more about how I can improve as a provider.

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. Whether you're struggling with balancing different aspects of your life, managing stress, or navigating transitions, I am here to help. 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. I’m committed to providing a safe, supportive space where you feel truly heard and understood—no matter what you're going through. As a daughter, wife, and parent, I understand firsthand the joy and struggles of balancing faith, marriage, family life, work, and personal wellness. Life can be overwhelming when you’re trying to do it all, and it’s easy to lose sight of your own needs. My own experiences have deepened my commitment to work with people who feel lost, stuck, or unsure of their next step. My goal is to provide you with practical tools and the emotional support you need to regain clarity, confidence, and a sense of control in your life. 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. No matter where you come from, I’m here to walk alongside you as we create a path forward that feels true to you—so you can make meaningful, lasting changes that align with your values. I hold a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Nevada Reno and a Master of Pastoral Studies from Holy Apostles College & Seminary. When I’m not in session, you’ll probably find me curled up with a good book (I’m always working toward my Goodreads goal!), listening to a podcast, gardening, or spending time with my husband, daughter, and our energetic Belgian Malinois pup, all while enjoying the beautiful hills of Virginia.

Hi, my name is Sara. I’m currently finishing my Master of Social Work at the University of Kentucky. I come to clinical social work with a focus on humanistic care, in which we honor the inner experience of each person. I believe that we all have the capacity to grow and learn as we go through daily life, building on our successes. I bring the compassion and skills that I’ve developed in fourteen years of helping clients understand and navigate life transitions.

I enjoy providing support for teens and adults who are learning new ways of being, including living through family additions and losses. Through motivational interviewing, I want to hear what is important to you, so that you are invested in the change you seek. My goal is to help people share their stories so they can better understand themselves and their attachment patterns. In my spare time, I like to spend time with my family and pets, exploring nature, and sitting down with a mug of hot coffee.

Hello! My name is Sarah, and I am in my final year of pursuing a Master of Clinical Social Work at Westfield State University. My approach to social work is deeply rooted in strengths-based and client-centered philosophies. I believe that every individual possesses unique strengths and the capacity for growth. My goal is to help you harness these strengths to overcome challenges and achieve your personal goals. I have experience working with a diverse range of age groups, including adolescents, college-age adults, middle-aged individuals, and older adults. I bring a compassionate, understanding, and tailored approach to each client's journey. I am particularly passionate about working with neurodivergent individuals and appreciate the unique ways we all interact with the world around us. Whether navigating a specific life challenge or seeking to make positive changes, I am here to support you with empathy, respect, and professional guidance. When I’m not working, I'm exploring new coffee shops, snuggling with my dogs, or soaking up some sunshine. I look forward to partnering with you to create a pathway to a brighter, more empowered future.
