Samantha Push, LMSW

Welcome! I am Samantha, a dedicated and compassionate counselor committed to supporting you through life's challenges. I take an individualized approach and specialize in working with children, teens, adolescents, and adults, addressing various emotional and behavioral issues.

My experience includes family counseling, where I help enhance communication and resolve conflicts within family systems. I am passionate about working with neurodivergent individuals, providing a safe and understanding space for those with Autism, ADHD, OCD, and other conditions.

As a parent coach, I offer practical guidance and support to help parents navigate the complexities of raising children. I am also committed to boosting self-esteem and providing tools for effective stress and anger management. Through Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I assist clients in developing skills for emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, and mindfulness.

I believe in the power of a supportive therapeutic relationship and am here to help you achieve your goals, foster personal growth, and improve your overall well-being. Let's work together to create a fulfilling and balanced life.

"I saw Jerilynn for about a year and a half, and I feel so lucky to have found her when I did. I met with her during a time when my anxiety and self-esteem were major obstacles, and she helped me realize what changes I needed to make in my life. She was compassionate yet objective and provided constructive reminders when I needed them. Her office is warm and inviting, I always felt comfortable. I highly recommend!"

Client Feedback Survey

I have been seeing Jessica P. at Giesken Counseling for the better part of a year now, and I cannot recommend her enough! She is wonderful and has helped me immensely as I navigate all the things that come after welcoming a new baby. The office staff are also always friendly as well, and it was very easy to try another counselor (Jessica) when I first started with Giesken after the first person I saw was not a good fit.

"Alexis has helped me so much. Just recently, I've been diagnosed with cancer and divorce, and I totaled my pickup. I enjoy therapy, and she's so down to earth, and that makes it easier to open up. And Mckenzie at the front desk, she's so good at her job, especially being so young, very responsible and thorough."

"Our grandson has been visiting one of the wonderful counselors at GCS for the last three months, and we couldn’t be happier! It’s heartwarming to see his smile coming back, and he’s enjoying more happy days. Plus, he’s doing a great job managing his emotions. We’re so thankful our daughter discovered GCS for him!"

“A loved one saw David. David's patient manner and demeanor were a perfect match. Patient /counselor worked together to develop goals, evaluating progress and roadblocks during sessions. David ensured my loved one felt their treatment plan was their own, ensuring autonomy and respect, building confidence, and providing helpful counsel to specific challenges.”
