Today we’d like to introduce you to Dr Sam Von Reiche.

Hi Dr Sam, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?

I always had a deep interest in understanding human behavior, so pursuing psychology felt like a natural fit. I knew I wanted to help people in a meaningful way, but I wasn’t entirely sure how. I worked in various mental health settings, from support roles to volunteer positions, and those experiences reinforced my desire to pursue a career as a psychologist.

When I decided to pursue a Psy.D., I knew the process wouldn’t be easy. I spent several years completing my doctoral program, which was both intellectually challenging and personally transformative. There were moments of doubt, but my passion for helping others kept me going. The journey was long, with years of internships, supervision, and research, but each stage brought me closer to my goal.

Today, I’m proud to be a licensed clinical psychologist and the founder of my practice, where I get to use my knowledge and experiences to help others. I’ve developed a holistic, results-driven approach to therapy, one that integrates both traditional methods and a focus on personal empowerment.

Looking back, it wasn’t always an easy road, but the challenges and perseverance along the way shaped me into the professional I am today. My journey has been about more than just earning a degree; it’s been about discovering my passion and purpose in helping others create meaningful change in their lives.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?

No, it definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. The path to becoming a Psy.D. and establishing myself as a psychologist has been filled with challenges, but those struggles have ultimately shaped who I am today.

One of the biggest hurdles early on was navigating the long and demanding process of earning my doctorate. The coursework was intense, and the clinical training required countless hours of supervision, practice, and self-reflection.

Looking back, while the road was anything but smooth, those challenges made me more resilient and taught me valuable lessons about perseverance, self-compassion, and the importance of seeking support when needed. Each struggle became an opportunity to grow, and those experiences have shaped my approach to helping others on their own journeys.

Who else deserves credit in your story?

My journey wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible mentors, supporters, and clients who have played a significant role in my success. There are many people I owe a great deal of gratitude to, and their influence has shaped both my personal and professional growth.

First and foremost, my mentors throughout my academic and early career years were crucial in helping me develop the skills and mindset needed to succeed. They provided invaluable guidance, not just in terms of technical knowledge, but also in teaching me the importance of empathy, ethics, and self-care in this demanding field. One mentor, in particular, helped me navigate the complexities of clinical work and encouraged me to trust my instincts.

I’ve also been incredibly fortunate to have a strong support network of colleagues and friends who have cheered me on every step of the way.

My clients, too, have played a significant role in my success. It’s truly a privilege to work with individuals who trust me with their personal journeys. The stories of transformation, resilience, and healing that I witness every day inspire me and reaffirm why I chose this career.

I would also add that my parents both strongly encouraged education, my mentor at Princeton University, Dr. Ronald Comer, and my supervisor at Montefiore Medical Center Dr. Brian Levine did more to shape both my confidence and my career.

Lastly, the amazing team that I’ve built around me has been integral to the success of my practice. From administrative support to fellow therapists and coaches, they help ensure that we deliver the best possible services to our clients. Their dedication and passion for the work we do make all the difference in creating a positive, collaborative environment.

In short, I’ve had so many incredible people contribute to my journey, and I am deeply grateful to each and every one of them. Their support, wisdom, and trust have helped me reach where I am today and continue to inspire me to do my best work every day.
