Red Samaniego (They/Them)

Clinical Social Work Trainee

Red Samaniego is a Clinical Social Work Trainee at We Rise Collective. They offer relational and trauma-informed psychotherapy to adults, couples, and small groups.

Red’s approach is warm, non-judgemental, and tailored to each client. They believe everyone can benefit from support in tending to the more difficult, uncertain, and worry-inducing aspects of their lives. They have experience working with clients with a wide variety of identities and experiences, including clients seeking support as they navigate depression and anxiety; migration/immigration experiences; trans identities and coming out; reproductive autonomy; grief and loss; and postpartum depression.

Red uses interventions based on narrative therapy, parts work, liberation psychology, and psychodynamic theories. This can look like re-writing your story about yourself or a past event, untangling and finding compassion for your emotions, identifying how societal power structures affect your wellbeing, or working to change patterns of how you relate to and love yourself and others.

Red loves writing, reading, resting, and doing the crossword.

Red is fluent in English and Spanish.
