Sam Major, Ph.D.
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)
About Sam Major
Dr. Sam Major is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with nearly a decade of clinical experience. He works with individuals, families, and adolescents navigating challenges like anxiety, depression, addiction, behavioral issues, and the harder questions that come up around faith and identity.
Sam's clinical focus centers on addiction recovery — particularly pornography and sexual addiction — alongside family therapy and adolescent support. Clients often come to him after trying other approaches that didn't quite fit, looking for someone who can hold the clinical, the relational, and the spiritual dimensions of healing all at once.
His approach draws from Integrative Systemic Therapy (IST), Christian-based counseling, virtue ethics, and Emotion Focused Family Therapy. That blend lets him meet clients where they are — whether that means evidence-based skill-building, working through systemic family dynamics, or honoring the role faith plays in someone's recovery and growth.
Above all, Sam offers a warm, thoughtful presence in the room. His clients describe him as deeply compassionate, holistic in his thinking, and steady in helping people shift the patterns they've been stuck in for years. If you're ready to do meaningful work — at your own pace, grounded in your own values — Sam is a strong place to start.
