About Samantha Schalk, LMSW, CAADC, CIMHP:

With nearly 25 years in the mental health field, I’ve built, led, and protected therapy practices from the inside out. I currently have an in-person solo therapy practice and am the co-owner of a telehealth group therapy. I’ve been a field liaison, a clinical supervisor, a business coach, and a compliance strategist. I’ve worked at every level of the therapy field, and I know what it feels like to carry the weight of protecting your clients, your license, and your livelihood.

This isn’t just business for me. It’s personal. I care deeply about protecting the people who protect others. Therapists shouldn’t have to choose between helping clients and staying legally safe. You deserve both.

My role is to build the systems that help you hold that line – to keep your license secure, your clients protected, and your practice steady.

Whether you’re a solo clinician, a group leader, or just starting out, I’m here to help you get protected and stay that way.
