It takes courage to be here and to choose yourself in this healing journey. This phase of healing is not easy, especially when your nervous system may feel overwhelmed or pulled toward fight, flight, freeze, or fawn responses. You’ve already taken a powerful first step by arriving here, and I am honored to support and guide you along the way.
​
My name is Ladifatoun Sambare. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and the owner/clinical supervisor of Radiant Authentic Soul Therapy. I am a trauma therapist based in New York City, specializing in integrative, multi-faceted approaches including EMDR, Somatic Therapy, Polyvagal Therapy, Mindfulness, Schema Therapy, and CBT.

You may be wondering what it is like to work with me in session. I understand that vulnerability can feel intimidating, and I approach therapy with care, compassion, and intention. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are and to collaboratively build a strong therapeutic relationship, one that feels grounded, trusting, and emotionally safe.

Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy somatic movement, diverse music, spending time in nature, and engaging with creative outlets such as reading, anime, and video games. These practices support my belief in holistic healing and embodied presence. If you are considering therapy, I warmly invite you to explore whether this practice may feel like a supportive and aligned space for your healing journey.
