Working with Dr. Kinkaid has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. She holds space with such deep compassion and presence that healing feels not only possible, but sacred. Dr. Kinkaid's approach is soulful and intuitive, combining profound clinical skill with an understanding that healing involves mind, body, and spirit. Each session feels like being guided home to myself- not rushed, not judged, but seen, heard, and honored. There is something truly special about the energy Dr. Kinkaid brings. She doesn't just help you survive your story- she helps you remember your strength, your wholeness, and your innate capacity to heal. I am endlessly grateful for Dr. Kinkaid for her guidance, and for the peace and self-compassion I have found through this work.

Dr. Kinkaid is AMAZING! She has literally helped save and transform my life. I've seen several therapists in my life, but none with such a wide and powerful took kit; with such compassion and empathy and wisdom. I've already recommended her privately to many friends. Finally get through your trauma and live the life you deserve and want. She will help you get there!

I found Dr. Samantha Kinkaid about two years ago when living in Montana. At the time, I was incredibly unhappy with my life and unsure how to turn my course. I was able to unpack so much with her, and together we worked on sorting it out to make sense of why I felt the way I did — and how I can make my future what I want it to be. Fast forward to now and I am so incredibly happy with where my life is headed and in the healthiest relationship with the man of my dreams. Just a few days ago, he asked me to marry him, and I said yes! I am forever grateful that I not only found Dr. Samantha Kinkaid, but that she gave me hope for this brighter future ahead. Hopefully this review can act as a “thank you” to her, or maybe be a sign for others who are in the same boat I was two years ago. So, if you’re seeing this review because you are searching for ways to get help, build up the courage to reach out to her! Have a chat to see if she would be a good match for you. I know I’m thankful I did.

It's hard to put into words the immense gratitude I feel for the incredible transformation I have been through since meeting Dr. Samantha Kinkaid. I was referred to her by another therapist, and it could not have been a better match. Upon meeting Dr. Kinkaid, it was the first time I felt like I was truly being heard and understood and that she had the knowledge and expertise needed to help me on my journey to becoming the best version of myself. I have gained confidence, self-love and self-respect and have attained goals that seemed impossible before I started therapy. I now possess the necessary skills needed to sustain this beautiful new way of existing. Dr. Samantha Kinkaid is the most influential person in my life. I will be forever grateful for the time we have spent together.

It was difficult at first for my husband and I to reach out and get some help. However, having adult children can be challenging at times and we can't thank Dr. Kincaid enough! Besides her timelines and professionalism, she listened, kept us on task and gave us some great ideas moving forward. Knowing that she is available and just around the corner, gives us one less thing to worry about when any uncertain situation arises. Thanks so much!! cj

Simply stated Samantha has helped me to completely transform my life. I consider her one of the most influential people I've ever met. She helped me work through traumatic childhood events which allowed me to recognize patterns I had unconsciously developed. Her presence in my life has been nothing short of profound. She weaves in many different theoretical frameworks depending upon what I present on any given day. I am always left feeling seen, heard, accepted, educated, relieved & inspired. She is a rare gem who has absolutely found her calling in life - healing people at the core level so they can realign with themselves. Ten stars!!

In deep grief from the loss of my husband and father in a very short time span, Dr. Sam was able to meet me where I was at every step of the way. It is miraculous to me what we achieved together. I feel so joyful, optimistic and integrated. Of all the poignant moments we've shared shared I remember this one most. When I first came to her, I was a puddle of grief. The loss of my beloved family opened up a whole can of trauma and I said to her... I feel like I will be in therapy FOREVER! She deftly replied.... "maybe not" and she was right. So grateful to you Dr. Sam.

Dr. Kinkaid has changed my life. Years of talk therapy with other practitioners were helpful, but only took me so far in my healing journey. Dr. Kinkaid's focus on somatic processing and physical attunement has helped me break through numerous 'plateaus' and experience transformative personal growth and integration. She is a highly skilled and compassionate professional. If you are genuinely ready to get to work on yourself, I can't recommend her enough!

I have been working with Dr. Samantha Kincaid for approximately the past nine months dealing with childhood trauma issues that are affecting my adult life. In virtually all respects of therapy, she has been a godsend to me as we unravel destructive childhood experiences that account in large part for my psychological, emotional, and physical distresses in adulthood. I have been both impressed and rewarded by Dr. Kincaid's breadth of knowledge and her application of the latest and accepted approaches to psychotherapy. I feel that she practices a very immediate approach to therapy: we avoid extensive "archaeological digs" into my past which have the potential of re-traumatizing me and focus on the general takeaways from past experiences in order to move forward psycholgically and emotionally. We have very engaging and constructive conversations that, at the end of the day, make me feel that I have the tools and support to improve my well-being. I heartily recommend Dr. Kincaid for psychotherapy especially for those individuals dealing with childhood trauma.

When I started seeing Samantha over two years ago, I was at the lowest point of my life - barely crawling through my life. I was deep in anxiety, flirting with an eating disorder, and trying not to sleep my days away in depression. In ONE session, I had a renewed sense of hope in myself. I was going to find a healthy way through my struggles. I have seen Samantha nearly every week since for two years. I can say with absolute certainty that she has not only saved my life, but has equipped me with the tools to save my own.

All of you, who need help to discover the real you, and to live a life free of childhood trauma, may I recommend Samantha Kinkaid. Dr. Kinkaid introduced me to EMDR (eye-movement, desensitization and reprocessing). This miracle therapy has changed my life. I call it a miracle because I don’t fully understand how it all works. But I do know this, that it enabled me to reconnect with my body, my real self, to rely on it, and to trust the feelings that it wanted desperately to share with me for years. In return for my body trusting me, I was able to fully engage with those feelings, and once again make my body my trusted friend. The childhood trauma that I received caused me to somehow disengage with my body, leaving it to wander for years, searching for love and hope and peace and satisfaction in the most unhealthy ways. Unfortunately, I never found any of those things in another human being, career, or even my faith. Dr. Samantha Kinkaid has been unwavering in her commitment for me to recover from this trauma by expertly applying her vast educational background and technical expertise and also her love, her kindness, and her deep, deep compassion for human life… My life. If you need a reliable friend, to help walk you out of this terrible hell and break the chains of childhood trauma, may I HIGHLY recommend reaching out and receiving the helpful hand of the most wonderful mental health, therapist, psychologist, and in my opinion, miracle worker…Samantha! Gods speed to all of you that are suffering and in need of recovery. There is HOPE! Written with a grateful heart! James Frederickson

It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Dr. Kinkaid. Her approach really resonated with me, as she expects you to be an active participant in the healing process. She provided with me with so many tools to use to break old behavior cycles and deal with new challenges. She is truly an expert in her field and is committed to enhancing her clinical skills by engaging in professional conferences and continuing education opportunities. I cannot recommend Dr. Kinkaid enough to anyone looking to restore peace in their lives.
