Sam Mascis

M.A., LMHC

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and it takes courage to seek support when you are feeling stuck, burnt out, or unsure how to move forward.

My name is Sam Mascis, LMHC, and I support clients who are navigating life’s toughest moments, helping you process difficult emotions and regain your sense of balance. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with both adolescents and adults dealing with mood disorders, PTSD and trauma, anxiety, relationship issues, and grief.

I work with individuals navigating major life transitions, low self-esteem, self-harming behaviors, and struggles unique to women and the LGBTQIA+ community. I graduated from Southern New Hampshire University with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and my background informs my client-centered, compassionate care.

My approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings, draw on your personal strengths, and build lasting, meaningful change.

How I Can Help

  • Trauma & Mood Support: Guiding adolescents and adults through PTSD, anxiety, mood disorders, and grief with empathy and compassionate care.
  • Identity & Life Transitions: Supporting low self-esteem, life changes, and concerns unique to women and the LGBTQIA+ community.
  • Growth & Healing: Collaborating with you to address your concerns, explore your strengths, and work towards your personal goals.
  • In-Person & Virtual Care: I provide flexible care options to fit your lifestyle, offering in-person sessions in Wesley Chapel as well as telehealth options for clients throughout the state of Florida.

You don’t have to go through this alone. Reach out today to take that first step together and schedule a consultation.
