Therapy VS Coaching • Pros & Cons •

Hi, I’m Samantha Barney, CSW-I. My journey to becoming a therapist and coach has been anything but linear. After years in the corporate world—where I even had the unforgettable experience of ringing the bell at the New York Stock Exchange—I realized that climbing the corporate ladder wasn’t fulfilling my deeper purpose. I made the life-changing decision to step away from that world and pursue a master’s degree in social work to follow my true calling: helping others navigate their own paths toward healing and growth.

I believe that healing begins with compassion—for ourselves and for the parts of us shaped by life’s hardships. As a therapist and coach, I take a holistic approach, recognizing the interconnectedness of emotions, thoughts, and experiences. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, emotional dysregulation, or relationship struggles, I provide a safe and collaborative space where authentic self-exploration can take place.

My passion for this work is rooted in my own experiences. I’ve faced struggles with mental health and know firsthand how challenging it can be to break through barriers and rediscover hope. This understanding fuels my commitment to creating a compassionate, supportive space for every person I work with.

At Ember, my goal is to help you ignite the change you’re seeking, whether it’s through therapy, coaching, or simply finding the clarity to take the next step forward. Together, we’ll uncover the strength, resilience, and potential that’s already within you.
