More about me

Licensing: LCPC, CAC-AD Years in Practice: 15 State: Maryland

My name is Samuel and I have deep respect and admiration for any person willing to seek improvement in a therapeutic environment. I was born in Ethiopia, raised in Maryland. I have worked as a counselor/therapist since 2004 and have had great success working with people to improve their quality of life. My approach to therapy is to treat each person as a unique individual with potential to improve emotional health. Oftentimes, emotional injuries such as abandonment, betrayal, injustice, rejection, humiliation and loss can cause long term damage, preventing us from experiencing peace of mind or joy. Similar to physical injuries, emotional injuries can heal if treated with the proper amount of care and nurture. Therapy is a tool to learn how to heal emotional injuries, and trauma, in order to have the strength to strive towards our ultimate potential. Depression, anxiety, anger and many other symptoms are often the byproduct of unresolved emotional injuries. Also, therapy is able to increase self-awareness in order to form better relationships with loved ones and stop a cycle of despair and self-destructive behavior. I wish you the best in your journey towards wellbeing.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

Samuel Woldemichael has been a great help to me over the past year. I have been through a number of very difficult problems and he has helped me cope with them. I feel very lucky to be able to talk to him.

Samuel has been amazing he has helped me tremendously. I’m thankful

My experience with Sam has been excellent. I’ve worked with a few therapists before getting arranged with him and he is very good at what he does. He is truly kind and compassionate. I feel comfortable to express even the most difficult things to him. I feel incredibly lucky to have found him here on BetterHelp. I have grown tremendously in my time with him and I sincerely value our sessions. 10/10

My therapist has literally changed the way I see myself and life around me. Mr. Woldemichael has helped me through a difficult time in my life and has given me a renewed since of this will be ok. He has helped me remember that I am more then my mistakes. The decision to come here was not easily made but worth so much more then the cost. I am feeling better about my self and where I am going in life.

It was nice to get assigned a Therapist that is so compassionate and understanding. Listens to his clients and makes a game plan to help alleviate any mental health concerns. Strongly recommend. Great human being all around.

Mr Woldemichael is an excellent therapist - he is thoughtful, compassionate and and very professional. Most important to me it shows that he genuinely cares about what he does. 10++

Listens, understands, great person. Really enjoying every session.

Samuel has been a better help in my life, that is for sure. I’m going through a difficult time in my life and our sessions is something I look forward to. He is easy to talk to and has helped me see myself in a better light. I got a lot of work to do but I’m more then confident in myself with Samuel supporting me.

I have had multiple therapists throughout my adult life and my experience with Samuel has far and away been the best I've ever had. His ability to keep the session on track and connecting whatever current struggles you are experiencing to the larger picture of your past journey and future goals is a rare gift. He maintains this focus while still allowing you the space to process and get your emotions out into the foreground. He radiates genuine compassion, support and empathy. I strongly recommend working with Samuel!

Sam has helped me really change my life and the way I live it for the better

I love Samuel he is the best therapist that I never had

He is fantastic, he understands me and provides me a space to work through my thoughts which is what I need most.

Samuel Woldemichael is an excellent therapist: wise, patient, funny(!), safe, encouraging, knowledgable. All of this! I am so lucky he is my therapist.

Samuel is a great therapist and I would like to work with him long-term.

I enjoy my sessions with Mr. Woldemichael. He allows me.to speak and listens to point out things to me he sees and helps me understand.

He’s a great listener. Always knows what to say and explains everything with perfect words!! I highly recommend him!!

Samuel Woldemichael is a very competent therapist. He listens actively and makes me feel heard and understood

Great therapist overall!

Samuel is such an incredible therapist who is so positive and bubbly on all of our calls. He listens well and helps guide me to answers that I am looking for instead of telling me outright as he adds his amazing expertise about healthy mindsets, resilience, and emotional injuries to my own personal situation. His reinforcement of self observation, self validation, and self compassion during our weekly sessions has helped those practices become second nature to me now and my self confidence has skyrocketed!

Samuel has me talking about my issues in a honest manner that I didn’t think was possible. Very powerful therapy!

Finally… a therapist that takes his career seriously! He is calm and patient while incorporating therapy techniques that are proven to help. He’s intentional about using them to help you overcome your challenges.

Sam is not only a great therapist his qualities include, great listening skills, the ability to understand your problems with compassion an clarity. He gives great guidance and advice. Sam has helped me when I was hopeless. He is my savior.

Samuel is my go-to resource for getting clarity and helping me to understand the source of my often turbulent emotions, something I have always struggled with. Whenever I am dealing with an issue of anxiety/fear, his gently probing questions brings me through the process with him until the origin of the fear/anxiety make sense to me, and I can move on with more confidence for the next time. Samuel's partnership has been a force toward mental wellness, and I am grateful to have the luxury of working with this gifted and nurturing therapist.

Very nice guy.

Very easy to to talk to considering I don’t like to talk about my personal life

Therapist are hard to find and a good fit especially. I truly appreciate how attentive he is to me and listens thoroughly. Offers constructive criticism without insult and compliments to encourage expression. I am very happy with Samuel Woldemichaels.

MVP of counseling

Good energy, understanding, compassionate, nonjudgmental, and overall awesome with good insight.

Samuel has been really great to work with!

I really appreciate Samuel's approach and understanding about my current situation. He's very easy to speak with and I look forward to our sessions. He's an awesome therapist!!

Samuel is an extremely intuitive and skilled therapist. He is very warm and inviting which makes me feel comfortable enough to be vulnerable. I appreciate his patience and guidance. He is a very talented professional.

Samuel has been great to help me understand cause of my issues. He has been patient as we dig in deep and find strategies to support challenges.

He really is a very kind and genuine, down to Earth person. I'm shocked that the system you all have has found a therapist for me that actually can relate to me, and just understand me so easily. I look forward to keeping him as my therapist for a long time.

I really appreciate how Sam was able to pinpoint what issue my emotions were coming from, and how he challenged my assumptions. When he asked what the benefits verses the down side, it was an important perspective I didn’t have. I’m feeling hopeful that I can grow out of this and have hope finally.

Samuel is caring and respectful he is easy to talk to and listens to my concerns. Samuel offers different opportunities for me try to help myself when we are done with our session which are very helpful and he is very quick to respond when I need him. I LOVE working with him and he is helping me to be a better me!

We've only had 2 sessions so far, but the things I've been learning have been great. He makes the session feel free, comfortable and fulfilling. Looking forward to the progress that is to be made in the future.

Working with Samuel Woldenmichael has been great over our last four sessions. Each session he takes the time to let me speak about my various concerns and provides me with tangible resources to battle them. He is very attentive in each session and patient as I try to work through my thoughts.

Sam is doing a great job and we relate well. Which is a challenge for me. He's providing me with techniques I learned long ago and forgot I had.

Such an amazing, inspiring, and knowledgeable man who has patience and a way to relate to people. Highly recommend!
