Since my therapy sessions have started with Dr. Sam, my self-esteem has gotten stronger, I am making more money in my career and I am no longer afraid of my anxiety/depression. I have a deeper understanding of why I suffer from depression and how I can deal with my issues instead of just trying to sleep them away. I feel more like my real self every day and I thank Dr. Sam for that. Every time I meet with Dr. Sam, I discover something new that helps me live a better life. I have been to other therapists from San Diego to LA, and I have never met another professional like Dr. Sam. I learn more in 1 hour with him than I have ever learned during 3-4 sessions with other therapists. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for hope, relief, guidance and self-discovery. Sincerely, Gina Lee

This review is long overdue but I owe Dr Sam immensely for his support, encouragement and guidance…read morein my life. I don't give out recommendations or endorsements generally unless it's absolutely well deserved and my word is certain. But he was just a terrific individual, one of a kind and always willing to go the extra mile to help whoever reaches out to him. I know that for a fact that he he has helped throughout my whole time with him. Even from the start he had given me so much wisdom and encouragement and like energy to take on life every day. Just within one meeting and talking with him I felt like a completely new individual, so empowered and at ease, in a completely different state of mind and felt like a whole new person. It was crazy powerful stuff that he taught me. And I just saw things in a whole new way, and took on things in much different ways as well. Mind you that was just one session! As I continued they were the best weeks and months I had in the longest time. I was so grateful for his wisdom and support and really coming through for me when he took me on as a client. He has so much to offer, just by being an clinical psychologist for starters in a field that is dubiously difficult to find someone legit. But he was so much more than a psychologist or coach in that he was always straightforward, solution oriented, practical and really involved in his approach, commitment to addressing real issues going on in my life and giving me his full attention and time which he values very much. I was extremely appreciative he took me on, and was worth it for sure. I could sense he was was just an extremely passionate and genuine individual, and sincerely wanted to help and was willing to go so far always in helping me and checking in and seeing how things were going between sessions. Even when I fell back into slumps over stupid things and felt bad regressing. When I met with him later without judging or anything, he was able to lift me back out and explain what was happening and got me back going. Just how he was able to simplify life and address all the challenges, confusion and complex circumstances I was facing was remarkable. He never held back on stating the truth or shying away from any subject, even the hardest of things. And I just never thought it was possible for someone to truly understand everything going on for me personally. Im still in awe of how he was able to help and work with me, like on the really big things like finding my life direction, purpose and figuring out who I was, getting out of my negative habits and ruts I felt stuck in. And each time we met it felt like he helped me gain further clarity into how I worked, developed fortitude to understand and deal with the world around me. And more so to work with who I was an an individual and really invest my time wisely to become the person I wanted to be. And was the catalyst I needed to focus on personal growth in certain areas to achieve the changes I wanted. Its hard to explain how he works and helps but for me at least I know he does. He was such a nice, caring and great coach and resource overall, and his passion and energy was noticeable through the whole process. And all our meetings and sessions were well worth the expense and effort easily. He was generous and reasonable working with me too, giving me much of his time and things to work with when we met and was super flexible and accommodating. Anyways I would highly recommend him if you are looking for a life coach or counseling or career advice or just general help, as he does it all and gets to the heart of the issue, however complex and difficult it may seem. Thank you so much Dr Sam, you made a huge difference and are the best definitely. I look forward to continue working together, building upon our progress and becoming my best self. And with your help and support I know now it can be a reality. I would definitely check him out and give him a call for an initial meeting. You have nothing to lose (except your happiness and life) but everything to gain. Just my humble opinion though!c

I first contacted Roger not knowing whether I wanted to pursue individual or couples sessions.
