From Samantha
Hello, I am Samantha Booher. I am a Licensed Psychotherapist at Center for Compassion. It is an honor and immensely humbling to come alongside others with compassion, bearing witness to their grief journeys. Creating a safe space for you to explore, process and cope with losses and hardships is my intention, and something I enter into with an open heart and mind.
I am drawn to person-centered, mindfulness and strengths-based approaches because I believe everyone is capable of healing from within, especially when given grounding space to do so. We will work together to cultivate self-compassion and awareness, and if needed, sit with unanswerable questions. All feelings are welcome. I am not afraid to follow you into the dark and sit for a bit. I am here to listen. You can do this. And I would be honored to be a part of your story.
I am led to this work in honor of my beloved brother, Zach.
Background
Samantha Booher, MS, LPC is licensed by the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners, a member of the American Counseling Association, and a certified provider of Compassionate Bereavement Care®. Exploration throughout her undergraduate studies and post-college career included volunteerism, civil service and teaching Yoga. She was drawn to mindfulness practices following the death of her beloved brother, and wished to share their healing potential with others. With this intent in mind, she received certification in Compassionate Bereavement Care® in Yoga through the MISS Foundation in 2017.
Samantha has been associated with the community-based support group The Compassionate Friends since 2012, and has served as the Mesa–Tempe chapter's Sibling Loss Leader since 2020. Seeking to make a more grief-specific impact in her professional life, she attained a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, during which she completed her graduate-level internship at Center for Compassion. Samantha also uses her passion for human rights and advocacy to inform and adapt her therapeutic approaches.
