Hi, my name is Samiyrah! I am a Licensed Practicing Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania with 13+ years of experience working in the Mental Health field. I graduated from Drexel University with a Bachelor of Science in Counseling, and have attained a Master of Science in Education in School and Mental Health Counseling from the University of Pennsylvania. I am a certified Eco-Therapist from Pacifica Institute. I currently focus on clients facing anger management, anxiety, academic distress, phase of life/transitions, and resolving relationship/marital issues.
My approach is person-center with implementation of nature/healing principles. You can expect a judgement free-zone that is conducive to deep healing work. I integrate modalities of Eco-therapy, CBT, psychodynamic, solution-focused, motivational interviewing and trauma-informed care seamlessly, to provide support wherever you are in the healing process. Taking the first step towards beginning the therapeutic journey takes tremendous strength and courage. Well done!
When not providing therapeutic support, I enjoy spending time hiking, painting, gardening, traveling, and spoiling my two African-spurred tortoises.

Samiyrah has helped me tremendously in the short time that I’ve been speaking with her. She provides an excellent combination of information and the support that allows me to work through things on my own. Her insight acts as a catalyst for self reflection which is what I lacked when seeking help from other therapists. She’s here to do the work with me, not for me, which is incredibly important to me. I appreciate all that she’s done this far and I’m eager to continue working with her.

Ms. Samiyah weaver, thank you for being you. I love that someone mention homework/feedback because she knows the work isn’t over when the session is done. I am grateful for that. I haven’t been to therapy before meeting with Samiyah. Her alone has show me way to achieve and accomplish. She is the best in my opinion. She will be forever looked at an aunt with great advice to me. Most appreciated.

Where to begin…Samiyrah and I connected from day 1. I feel beyond comfortable with talking with her. She is beyond relatable. She is a good listener, she conveys realistic advice and never leaves any leaf unturned. I am beyond pleased with her care and concern and I am so thankful that I chose her.
