Rev. Samantha Otto

Life Coach, Spiritual Counselor and Ordained Minister

I live in beautiful central Arkansas with my soon-to-be-wife and our three children and fur-child. I enjoy reading, arts and crafts, watching movies, hiking and camping.

Strengthened by Grace offers an emotionally safe and productive atmosphere, free of judgment, where you can truly express yourself. I counsel using a variety of techniques and therapeutic approaches, including relational, psycho-dynamic, cognitive-behavioral, family and existential therapies. I respect your individual needs and will work with you to see your current problems in a better light, assist you in changing those self-defeating behaviors and thoughts and make positive choices in your life.

We will explore your life situations and relationships from an integrated perspective of faith, hope and love. I do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, class, culture or sexual orientation. All are welcome to come for counseling services. I fully respect your choices regarding spirituality and faith. While I am a Christian, I also understand that everyone has their own spiritual path. I welcome the opportunity to discuss your spiritual journey and what it has meant to you, regardless of your religious preference. Some of my clients prefer not to discuss their spiritual beliefs during therapy, and that is fine, too.

As an ordained minister, I have the legal rights to preside over religious ceremonies such as weddings, baptisms and funerals. In addition, I have the authority and training to provide teaching, counseling, and spiritual guidance to people of all faith.

Please contact me if you would like to receive any of these services, and I would be happy to set up a meeting.
