About

Hello! Welcome. My name is Samantha Black and I am a licensed psychologist in Ohio. I currently live in the Columbus area. As a psychologist, I like to use my knowledge and expertise to help people determine what is best for them and guide them toward their own goals collaboratively. I believe you are the expert of your own life and I am here to help find answers to your questions and find balance that improves your wellbeing. I consider my style as warm, open, safe, personable, and collaborative.

Education & Licensure
PsyD from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in Washington D.C.; Masters of Arts in Counseling from Adler University in Chicago, Illinois; Bachelor of the Arts in Psychology from The Ohio State University
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I am motivated to help adults with autism feel valued, heard, and understood. I believe that neurodiverse individuals deserve respect, compassion, and emotional safety. Adults with autism may also need help navigating the challenges they face regularly. I have a passion in helping people identify their strengths that can contribute to building resilience and in turn help people venture through life confidently.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

Individuals are unique and have had their own experiences throughout their lives. These experiences are valid and sometimes may be overlooked. I believe people deserve to feel validated and may need help in finding answers that will help clarify a lingering question about themselves and/or find ways to improve their lives overall. Using a strength-based approach and affirming care, I hope to provide individuals with a sense of belonging, safety, and validation; thus, opening the door for many positive experiences to come.
