Why Families Choose Early Branches for Child Therapy, Autism Evaluations, ADHD Testing, and Professional MENTAL HEALTH Services
Hi, I’m Samantha,
Child Psychologist and Infant Mental Health Specialist IN New JERSEY & NEW YORK
I’m a licensed psychologist in New Jersey and New York with specialized training in infant and early childhood mental health, trauma, attachment, and child assessment. For more than a decade, I’ve supported children ages 0–12 and their families in healing, growing, and building hopeful futures.
Grounded Training and Deep Expertise in Early Childhood Mental Health
Unlike many practices that treat all ages, my expertise is exclusively in young children. My background includes a decade of specialized training, national leadership roles, and supervision of clinicians nationwide.
Evidence-based treatments (EBTs) backed by research
I am one of the only clinicians in New Jersey trained in several specialized, trauma-informed, early-childhood EBTs (including ABC and CPP).
A warm, relational, supportive approach
Children feel safe here. Caregivers feel heard here. You will always be met with compassion, patience, and genuine partnership.
Rooted in understanding. Growing with hope.
