Our Founder«
Anastacia Sams, M.A., LPC, LMFT
As the owner and founder of HealingWorks, I believe we are designed for connection. However, our western society often neglects the importance of the collective. I am a firm believer that loving yourself allows you to love others more fully. Allowing yourself to be seen by others, in safe and loving community, is to allow yourself to walk in abundance.
In love, there is strength, beauty, and resiliency. I am passionate about helping couples love each other in ways that are healing and that break those intergenerational patterns that don’t serve them while strengthening the ones that do. I want to help you and your partner create a long-lasting love that lends itself to joy, laughter, connection, and deeper intimacy.
Growing up as a Black American woman, I often felt unseen. I later realized that feeling unseen was directly related to how much I found myself in white spaces where I was perceived to be “lesser than”. Pretty soon, I internalized that feeling, which manifested as a lack of self-confidence and an inability to honor my worth and my voice. Finding healing through allowing myself to be seen fully and without judgment, by myself and others, has been essential to my well-being. I am passionate about helping you to heal, increase self-confidence, and find (and use) your voice while embracing your authentic self.
As a licensed therapist, a life coach, and a relationship expert, I believe that unlocking your authentic self helps to facilitate loving connection, healing, and joy, allowing you to thrive in abundance.
