Velanda Samuel

Hello! My name is Velanda Samuel and I am the founder of Breakthrough Clinical Services LLC. In my business I go by the title of Brain Health Strategist as I help people who are tired of being trapped in their thoughts and want to be free, happy and able to love who they are and finally be their authentic selves.

I am available for group and individual therapy and counseling treatment. I work with teenagers 16 and older, adults, the elderly and the disabled, in the areas of anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, grief and loss as well as other life issues. I have over 20 years of experience working with individuals and families in various capacities and since the start of Breakthrough Clinical Services, LLC in 2015 I have grown my unique style of working in the field of mental health into a suite of programs.

My educational background includes obtaining a Bachelor of Science degree in Child Studies from the University of Saint Joseph in 2004 and I obtained a Master of Social Work degree from Springfield College in 2009. My clinical hours were obtained at Eastern Connecticut Health Network Manchester Memorial Hospital Behavioral Health.

I have been featured as a frequent expert keynote speaker of mental health on 89.9 WQTQ radio, 91.7 WHUS radio, Energy Radio as well as on Channel 61 NEWS and for Dress for Success. I am the community liaison for Power Muzic Radio in which I host a weekly show called Breakthrough to Wellness.
