I’m Dr. Sam Wessels. I’m so glad you’ve made it here! Many of my clients are LGBTQ+ and grew up in Mormon, Catholic, evangelical, or culturally conservative homes and are now unpacking the shame, anxiety, people pleasing, and self-criticism that came with it. You may have left your hometown and family, and those beliefs, but still find yourself wrapped up in cycles of burnout, high expectations, and stress in your closest relationships (or a lack of them).

We’ll explore your habits of relating to other people, yourself, and your emotions that have kept you stuck in these unhelpful patterns and finally make sense of yourself. You can be your own ally, rather than your biggest critic. You can have connected and fulfilling relationships, and more confidence and ease as you pursue your goals and passions.

This work can be intense and deep, so relief is necessary. We may be crying one minute, and then laughing our asses off the next. I bring a dark sense of humor to my work and my clients tend to serve it right back. If this sounds up your alley, please reach out! Let’s get started.
