About Sam Bergeman, LLMSW

Hello! I’m Samantha Bergeman, LLMSW with Good Root Wellness of Hope and Wholeness Psychology. I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s most challenging moments with compassion, empathy, and evidence-based care. With over eight years of experience in trauma-informed care, crisis intervention, and therapeutic support, I specialize in helping children, adolescents, and adults heal from emotional distress and build lasting resilience.

My approach is client-centered and strength-based, focusing on building trust and fostering a safe space for growth. I use clinically proven methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed practices to support emotional regulation, reduce anxiety, and improve overall mental wellness.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked in a variety of settings including schools, community mental health, and child protective services. This experience has deepened my understanding of how environmental, social, and psychological factors intersect—and how holistic support can empower change. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or major life transitions, I’m here to help you create a personalized path toward healing.

If you’re ready to take that first step, I invite you to reach out. Together, we’ll work to uncover your strengths, build coping skills, and move forward with confidence.

My youngest son saw a therapist here and she was wonderful with him. My husband and I also have seen 2 therapist here and both helped us tremendously. We learned helpful tools to apply in real life situations in our marriage and individually. I would recommend this place to anyone 💚

I had been searching for a counselor when Hope & Wholeness had been mentioned as a possible fit. They were so right. Dr. Duckworth was amazing. He took the time to explore who i was, what was important to me, and what I needed. He helped me address many things from my past and take on things as they came. When our schedules conflicted I was able to meet with someone else and continue to get the help and support I needed. Cannot say enough good things about the staff.

Dr Duckworth is a compassionate and caring therapist. My work with him helped me through several major transitions in life, and I would recommend him and the Hope & Wholeness practice to anyone who asks, I have done so to many acquaintances.

I have had nothing but good experiences working with Hope & Wholeness! Easy on boarding and flexibility for in person or telehealth visits! Emily is phenomenal! And my kids see Kelley and Michelle and both love them! This facility has been influential in supporting our family's mental health.
