Hi, I’m Samantha Dedic, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) deeply committed to helping
individuals navigate life’s challenges and cultivate meaningful well-being. I hold a Bachelor of
Science in Psychology from Dominican University (2014) and a Master’s in Social Work from
Aurora University (2017). I’m also a licensed clinical social worker (License #149.021402).
With over eight years of experience, I specialize in treating Eating Disorders, OCD, and
Complex Anxiety, with extensive work in hospital settings, Partial Hospitalization Programs
(PHP), Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), and outpatient care.
I take a person-centered, strengths-based approach, combining warmth, directness, and
collaboration. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel truly heard,
understood, and empowered in your journey of self-discovery and healing. I’m passionate about
building a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship and working alongside you to identify your
strengths and develop practical coping strategies.
I use evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical
Behavior Therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and strength-based
techniques, tailoring each session to meet your unique needs. Whether you're navigating an
eating disorder, OCD, complex anxiety, life transitions, depression, relationship issues, or simply
seeking personal growth, my approach is designed to help you feel more in control, at peace,
and aligned with the life you envision.
Growth is always possible, and together, we’ll work toward helping you lead the life you desire.
Reach out today to get started.
