Samuel Cooper Social Work Therapist and Meditation Teacher

Meet Samuel Cooper

Samuel Cooper, MSW, LMSW
Licensed Master Social Worker

Samuel Cooper (he/him/they) is a Licensed Master Social Worker, meditation teacher, and yogi. He practices from a trauma-sensitive foundation of pancultural spirituality and eclectic theory, and believes that therapy must be creative, fluid, and collaborative in order to meet the unique and changing needs of each client. No matter how big or small the issues we face, no matter how deep or wide the questions we ask, he believes that each of us contains the power to move towards insight, growth, authenticity, and healing. 

With a background in mind-body-heart modalities (meditation, breathwork, and yoga), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eastern contemplative philosophies, and evolutionary psychology, Samuel has a holistic, person-in-environment view on human wellness. His therapeutic style is compassionate, spacious, engaged, and relational.

Deeply invested in liberatory and anti-oppressive work, Samuel is committed to creating an affirming therapeutic container for all people regardless of identity status or category of difference. He has experience working with LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, disabled, immigrant, military, and rural populations. Also, Samuel is a sex-positive and psychedelic-friendly therapist, and fundamentally operates from a perspective of harm-reduction and de-stigmatization in all his work.
