Meet Roshni Samtani, AMFT

Hey There! I am so glad you found your way here. I am Roshni, and I specialize in relational work. I primarily work with couples and when I get lucky I have the privilege to sit with a whole family.

I believe the problem lies in the larger context as opposed to in an individual. So, in our sessions, we will have conversations around culture, race, gender, ancestry, immigration, religion etc., and how these themes impact the way we show up in our relationships.

I also work with clients who are transitioning in and out of relationships. You don’t have to be experiencing relational struggles to work with me. I also work with clients who are on a journey to building a secure relationship with themselves.

I am passionate about relationships, and trained, and specialize in couple’s therapy modalities (Gottman, EFT and Premarital Counseling), mindful self-compassion (MSC) and I am a certified grief therapist.

I work from an attachment lens, and work collaboratively with clients; which means, we will be inviting your inner child into our space and we will also be navigating through some childhood heartaches.

In our time together, you will have full control of treatment planning and how you want to utilize your session time. Having said that you will hear me say, “permission to challenge?”, every now and then.

I lean on my spirituality when I struggle, so very often you will also hear me say, “What would your higher self say about this?”. I am eclectic and will draw from several evidences based models but my main guide is my intuition, which I tend to use and voice out often. Think about a mesh between Esther Perel, Brene Brown, and Rumi.

The idea of seeing a therapist can be intimidating for an individual or a couple but, finding a safe place to give voice to or discover your truth is of utmost importance. I see therapy as the cultivation of a sacred space where one can fully experience their authentic self. My wish for myself and every client is that we become conscious of who we are, and what we bring into our relationships. It would be my privilege to walk into this space with you.
