Samantha is a gifted psychologist who helped me tremendously to overcome my depression and anxiety. When I came to her, I was broken internally. She is attentive, focused, caring, and smart. I felt comfortable sharing with her my thoughts and feelings. She developed a plan for me. Already after a few sessions I felt much better. She unveiled things I haven't noticed about myself, unwrapped my tangled thoughts, and inspired confidence in me. Thanks to Samantha, I was able to turn my life around. Now I am happy and healthy. I'm so grateful. Without a doubt I recommend Samantha - she is a gem.

Dr. Goldwater is awesome!
Her sessions are always refreshing, instructif, human and non judgmental. I always get out of them feeling energized with specific actions to take to better my life.
Samantha is also fun to be around, she made me feel very comfortable right away, she is a beautiful soul.
She has an extensive knowlege in behavioral therapy and neuroscience in general. Dr. Goldwater always asks me what I want to talk about and how, do I want to know the science, the actions to take or both. With her, I am always on the drivers seat.
Samantha also genuinly acknowledges my efforts and my progress at the end of every single session.
I’m always amazed to hear her recall all the things I’ve told her, she really cares about her clients.
Being a black woman and born muslim, I was initially worried she wouldn’t get me. She connected with me seeminglessly and right away.
I have recommended her to family and very close friends and will continue to do so.
I am very very grateful for her, she has helped me tremendously these last 2 years.
I will never be able to pay her all the good that she’s has been doing for me.

Samantha managed to build trust very quickly with my son. She kept me in the loop on his progress with post sessions emails so I knew how to continue the work at home. Her weekly exercises helped my son look forward to concrete steps to overcome his challenges. She’s very responsive, kind and professional. I have seen a big difference in my son from when he started his sessions with Samantha and where he is today.

Samantha is insightful, compassionate, undogmatic, adaptable, and ultimately she’s effective. I used to have a somewhat negative opinion of therapy, and I credit Samantha for fully reversing that opinion.

Highly recommended!

Hilarious, personable and thoughtful. She helps you set up a well-defined plan to challenge negative thinking. I can't recommend her enough.

J'ai consulté plusieurs psychologues et aucun ne lui arrive à la cheville. Elle est dans l'action et apporte des solutions concrètes. M'a recommandé quelques livres qui m'ont tous été très utiles. Mon garçon a un trouble d'opposition avec provocation. Il m'en a fait vivre de toutes les couleurs. Aucunes des solutions des psychologues, psychiatres, travailleuses sociales, psychoéducatrices ne m'ont aidées. Samantha est la seule a m'avoir donné des solutions qui fonctionnent. Depuis, ma relation avec mon garçon s'est complètement transformée. Je ne pourrai jamais la remercier assez. En fait, je ne devrais pas la recommander, je la garde pour moi :S

Dr. Goldwater-Adler changed my life. I had struggled with so many different psychologists and therapists before. We just couldn't see eye to eye. Dr. Goldwater-Adler sincerely gets me and can get on my level to work with me in a way that is effective every session, no matter how high or low I'm feeling! She's taught me the value in being gentle with myself and being grateful. She helps me find ways to set my boundaries and work on my relationships while staying within my values. She's helped me figure out what those values are to begin with! She's great at pointing out your successes always shares what she appreciates about you and the work you put into yourself. It's a really safe and comforting environment with her. If anyone needed support and guidance I would 100% recommend her! I honestly couldn't say enough good things about her! She's the best!

Une excellente psychologue, qui a su être à l’écoute de mes besoins et trouver une méthode qui m’aiderait. En plus d’être professionnelle, elle est humainement investie et adorable. Elle m’a apporté connaissance, support et, de toutes les psychologues que j’ai consultées, elle a trouvé le moyen de me faire aller mieux. Vraiment reconnaissante de l’avoir rencontrée!

Samantha is the sweetest, the most genuine, the kindest and on top of all the most knowladgble. The fact that she shares her knowledge so you can help yourself by knowing more and being more away in a way full of relatable and real life examples that it feels very easy to understand and ground yourself. She is excellent and definitely was born to do this!
