Samantha Kokkinos, Psychotherapist
Therapy can provide an invaluable environment. I believe that by providing an authentic and safe environment, it is possible to leverage one’s strengths and feel empowered toward healing, wellness, and radical self-acceptance. I look forward to working collaboratively with you as you navigate your journey toward insight, discovery, and balance.
My background includes over a decade working directly in our communities within the sectors of education, language, and advocacy work. I have a Master’s Degree in Counseling and Psychological Services and am currently working under the licensed supervision of Catherine Rye, MA, LPCC.

I believe therapy is the most effective when the therapeutic relationship is prioritized. By using a collaborative and individualized approach, we can work together to conceptualize life experiences in a way that feels most helpful to you. I connect easily with others and am curious by nature; bringing genuine interest & empathy to the individuals I work with.
With a deep commitment to helping others achieve holistic well being, I integrate principles from acceptance-based, existential, somatic and mindfulness practices. I am a strong believer in the importance of keeping our minds & bodies connected, especially when it comes to navigating challenges with a sense of clarity and purpose.
I have an undergraduate degree in Communication and Psychology at the University of Minnesota Duluth and am nearing completion of my M.A. at Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota. Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my pups, playing pinball, and attending music shows with friends.
