About Purposely Mindful

Hello, my name is Samantha Cooper, and I am the owner and licensed therapist of Purposely Mindful. When I established Purposely Mindful, my primary objective was to provide support to families and children in navigating life's challenges. However, as I embarked on my own journey as a parent and began navigating both life and my career, I became acutely aware of the crucial need for parental support.

Purposely Mindful is a deliberate practice that encourages individuals to be fully aware of their own thoughts, emotions, and experiences.  We have all heard the saying, "Parenting does not come with a rule book," but by mindfully examining our past experiences, we can make necessary adjustments in our future endeavors

I began my career in family support services within a school setting. As I progressed in the field of social work, I had the privilege of empowering individuals, families, and children through therapeutic interventions in both the private and public sectors, as well as within the military. 

At Purposely Mindful, we offer a safe and nurturing space where individuals can not only confront their past selves but also effectively manage and cultivate personal growth in their present lives. Our approach is rooted in professionalism and a deep understanding of the complexities that come with parenting and personal development. We recognize that each individual's journey is unique. Through a combination of therapeutic techniques, compassionate guidance, and evidence-based practices, we empower parents to navigate the challenges they face with confidence and resilience.

We firmly believe that self-reflection and self-care are essential components of effective parenting. By fostering a mindful mindset, individuals can develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their children, leading to healthier relationships and more fulfilling lives.
