Dr. Sam Siegel-Wallace

It is one of my greatest inspirations to be a part of my clients’ journey as they build lives of authenticity and joy.

Sam is a clinical psychologist who works to honor the complexity of each person’s inner world and the relationships they hold most dear. He brings warmth, curiosity, and a grounded, perceptive presence to therapy. Clients often describe him as steady, thoughtful, and gently insightful—someone who helps them feel understood even when the work is challenging.

One of Sam’s specialties is working with ADHD and neurodiversity. He appreciates the unique relational patterns that emerge when partners experience the world differently, and he understands how the same traits that create frustration or feeling unseen can also bring empathy, creativity, and closeness. Whether the concern involves chronic distraction, emotional intensity, executive functioning challenges, or simply speaking in different “languages,” Sam helps couples understand the forces at play and discover new pathways to connection.

Sam also works with clients from the LGBTQIA+ community, people in polyamorous or nontraditional relationships, and couples uncertain about the future of their partnership. He is experienced in helping people navigate breaches of trust and the aftermath of infidelity, guiding them through hurt, repair, and the attachment patterns that shape their responses. His work attends to both the history each partner carries and the unconscious expectations that influence their current dynamics.

As a couples therapist, Sam sees himself as a translator—someone who helps partners understand the emotional meanings beneath each other’s words, especially when communication keeps looping in the same unhelpful patterns. He creates a space where clients can slow down, speak honestly, and feel truly heard. His style blends warmth with clarity, humor with depth, and exploration with practical guidance.

Whether you are navigating the complexities of ADHD, healing from infidelity, exploring polyamory, struggling with communication, or trying to reconnect after feeling distant, Sam helps clients find clarity, compassion, and direction. He works with people to understand themselves more fully, relate more openly, and move toward the kind of relationships they want to create.

I live by the philosophy that

the road to success in any pursuit is always under construction and that we should be curious about how to take the next step.

I could spend every day

playing with my dogs outside, cooking a new dish, watching a good movie, and talking with an old friend until the sun rises.

As a therapist, I

believe that our relationships and our values are the most important parts of who we are.

Holding On and Letting GoThe Role of Ritual and Routine in Connection

As we move into the colder months, many of us naturally turn toward the comforts of routine such as the morning coffee, the evening wind-down, and other small gestures that bring steadiness to our days. For couples, these rituals can be subtle yet powerful moments of connection. They remind us that we’re part of a “we,” even in the midst of busy lives.

These moments can take many forms: bringing your partner a cup of coffee in bed, taking a walk together after dinner, or planning a quarterly getaway to step out of daily demands and back into intimacy. Routines like these can nurture a sense of closeness and care and infuse a rhythm that says, I’m thinking of you.

Yet couples often slip in and out of these rituals without realizing it. Sometimes the change brings freshness and new energy; other times it can quietly erode a source of connection. Life transitions, such as having children, starting a new job, navigating health or lifestyle changes can easily disrupt the patterns that once felt comforting and grounding.

So what can couples do when those moments of connection get disrupted, or when they were never fully established to begin with?
