About
Samantha Michaels, M.A.
Sam is unique in the therapy biz. Having studied various aspects of spiritual psychology for years, she is particularly adept at addressing, and healing, longstanding issues. As we uncover the deeper pain and trauma that is held tight in our psyches, cells and energies, healing begins. If we can be supported through the entire healing process, we begin to let go of these strictures, and open to allowing the radiant presence and authentic aliveness that is our birthright.
Sam Michaels is an author, speaker, transpersonal therapist and life coach. With wisdom, compassion and humor, she uses a blend of energy and depth psychology, imagery, mindfulness meditation, hypnotherapy and cognitive behavioral techniques in helping clients actualize their own unique, individual potential. She works intuitively in assessing where someone may be holding on to suppressed emotional trauma, and helps release the blocked energies both emotionally and physically. Having worked for years at the prestigious Passages Malibu, as well as in private practice, she brings discretion and a wealth of experience in helping celebrities, Fortune 500 executives and a high-caliber clientele address the unique challenges inherent in a very public lifestyle.
ā
She has worked in the entertainment industry, as an executive in the corporate world, co-hosted an interview format radio show on "Emotional Fitness" with Dr. Barton Goldsmith, and has been in private practice for 15 years. Researching into the powerful connections between mind and health, she has done imagery and counseling with cancer patients and their families, volunteered doing spiritual counseling through hospice, assisted in designing and implementing corporate stress management and wellness programs with Dr. David Bresler, and worked in a research capacity with Dr. Norman Cousins at the Psychoneuroimmunology Institute at UCLA. Having studied extensively in contemplative and spiritual disciplines across many cultures, her work with Dr. Richard Moss on the psychophysiology of awakening consciousness has had a profound influence on her work with individuals and groups. She received her BA from UCLA, and is now completing an interdisciplinary Masters/Doctoral program. She brings studies into cultural anthropology, mind body medicine, comparative religion and transpersonal psychology into her work.
