About
Having experienced personal trauma and life's challenges, I am passionate about creating a safe and compassionate space where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to heal.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 4 years of experience in mental health care. I specialize in supporting individuals facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions. I combine evidence-based medication management with supportive therapy to promote healing and long-term well-being. I am dedicated to creating a compassionate, client-centered environment where individuals feel heard, understood, and empowered in their journey toward mental health.
I earned my Master’s in Nursing from Walden University, where I developed a strong commitment to evidence-based care and holistic treatment. My approach blends medication management with supportive therapy to address each client’s unique needs, build coping strategies, and foster resilience and stability.
Taking the first step toward mental health care can feel overwhelming, but it is also an important act of strength. My goal is to provide thoughtful, personalized support that empowers you to move forward with confidence. If you’re ready to begin your path toward greater stability and well-being, I encourage you to schedule an appointment.

I offer counseling and talk therapy services; however, I do not currently offer psychological testing. I am Sam Bearer, a licensed professional counselor with 9 years of experience working with individuals and couples from diverse cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. I specialize in helping clients work through emotional, relational, and interpersonal issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, anger, sexual issues, family and relationship dynamics, self-image and identity, communication, and mood and personality disorders.
I hold a master's in counseling from Covenant Theological Seminary. My approach draws on multiple therapeutic modes, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, internal family systems, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, so I can stay flexible as each client explores their unique internal experience.

When we say that addiction changes the brain, what does that mean? In short, addiction can cause the brain to flood with pleasure hormones so that you feel substantial reward (more than normal) for engaging in the addiction while your natural self-control mechanisms are bypassed.
Addiction can look different from person to person. However, people struggling with addiction tend to exhibit some of the following symptoms.
Physical signs of addiction:
Behavioral signs of addiction:
Emotional signs of addiction:
Millions of people in the United States alone suffer from addiction. While addiction can afflict anyone at any time, certain people are more vulnerable to addiction’s grip than others. Family and genetic history of addiction play a big role in its development, for example, as do environmental circumstances.
When looking back to when addictions first develop, people often recall an element of peer pressure. The behavior in question may begin as a way to relax with friends, fit in with a social group, or gain acceptance from colleagues. Emotional trauma or abuse can also play a role, causing people to explore certain behaviors in order to numb the pain and find relief.
If you are struggling with addiction, you don’t have to go it alone. The first step in recovering is reaching out for support. When you are ready to begin therapy, Thriveworks in Seattle, WA is ready to help.
