Quite simply put , Sam Lau changed my life. I was stuck in a negative headspace -- hopeless, full of fear and grief. In just over a year she has improved my perception of myself and transformed my negativity. She has been my guShow moreide and shining light who has put me on a path of happiness, gratitude and success. After 30 years of therapy she is the only one who has been able to put me on a healthy journey. Each week I have a new breakthrough thanks to her brilliance. She is the absolute best!
I have been seeing Dr. Lau for a little over 2 months, and in the few visits we have had thus far - it has made a huge difference! My experience has been extremely well-rounded as she has assisted me with medications, sleep, and Show morereframing my thought processes so that I can conquer fears, negative self-talk, and habits that past traumas have forced me to form. I feel myself becoming a happier person that is capable of not only success but rest and peace. I am excited for the rest of our journey!

this is the only person who has greatly helped me. She sees me. She's an amazing "find" in medicine when we are scarce in good nurses and doctors during CV.
This new modality has changed my view about me!
Dr Lau, is a caring professional that really works to understand and help care for my mental health.
Without Dr. Lau, I'd have no one to take care of my issues! She's absolutely the best.
Samantha is very professional and kind. She really knows her stuff and leads me through my ketamine assisted experience safely and guided. Highly recommend her!
This new treatment is saving my life. Dr. Lau is probably one of the most understanding person out there who really cares about ones' wellness. I have been transformed like no one has done in the past! And no medications to take the rest of your life! No meds necessary at all!
Samantha is kind and thorough.
Now this may not be the route for everyone, however one should at least do some research on these new modalities. I have had 3 treatments and have NOT found any success in therapy nor a pill. And yet, this is THE best blessing and treatment I have ever had! Dr. Lau has the calmest, most eloquent way of treating you. I cannot recommend her enough. SImply the best in town to me.
If you're open and want wellness, this is it. I must say, Dr. Lau is probably the calmest, safe setting, and she's there for you. Much more than others. All I can speak is for myself. But this was the best choice for PTSD. AND I don't need numbing meds any longer to get thru the day. This modality gets to your root to pull it out! I cannot recommend this more highly than any other pill or modality. Be open to your healing!
New modalities are scary. I was this person. But what I experienced is my experience and maybe not yours. But my care has been unbelievable. I had a break thru while under treatment that I see great promise for. And trust me. I have been depressed and all the phobias that come with Trauma. I'm so different one experience that I cannot wait to see my new progress grow! NOTHING HAS BEEN LIKE THIS TO ME!
Sam is not only easy to work with, an outstanding practitioner, she also inspires trust when it would be so easy to remain distant and clinical in ones approach.
Nurse Lau is friendly, compassionate, and super smart. Highly recommended!
Sammi exudes a type of warmth, compassion, and curiosity that makes you feel completely comfortable sharing the the hard, scary stuff with her. Especially for a prescriber, she remains so person-centered and nonjudgemental that it helps you to believe in brighter days ahead. She is extremely collaborative and has found the perfect manner of being a professional you can trust without creating an unspoken power dynamic of "doctor knows best".
I enjoyed meeting with Samantha and felt she asked great questions and listened carefully to me. I would definitely return for further work with her!
Samantha was amazing. Completely professional and knowledgeable. She was able to work around my schedule and made me very comfortable.
Samantha is amazing! I had her as my therapist from a previous company and decided to continue with her care here. I instantly felt connected with her and truly feel like she listens to me and how I feel.
Sammi's approach is the that rare blend of the holding provided by herm medical expertise and the witnessing and humility of her person-centered sensibility. In the current era of medicine, clinicians like Sammi are a breath of fresh air--the safety provided by an expert married with the comfortability of talking with an old friend. She could not be more dedicated to healing the planet, one client at a time. I cannot recommend her services more highly.
Great so far!
I love the experience I have here. Samantha is one of the easiest people to talk to and she’s very observant.
Dr. Lau offered treatment with an emotional and scientific approach which is not something often seen in medicine today. I felt that she cared about gaining results in the right way and I am glad to be working with her going forward.

Dr. Lau, was great, the words Thank you is not enough.
I’d rather not leave a public testimonial. Thank you.
Samantha truly makes the difference between a provider that cares and a provider that does not. She makes you feel comfortable when speaking with her. I definitely recommend her. She’s the best and has helped me in so many ways.
I've been a patient of Sam's for the past 2 years, specifically for medication management. Sam always went above and beyond a quick prescription refill appointment, taking the time to talk and offer advice to help manage my mental health- and even meditate together! I recently started therapy sessions and could not be more grateful for Sam's unique approach that blends spiritual modalities. My personal growth has skyrocketed over the past 5 months. I am so grateful for Sam and highly recommend!
Samantha has helped me change my life. After spending time with so many doctors and not getting anywhere, I finally made amazing progress with Samantha. She is trustworthy, she listens, she doesn't judge, and she helps me to understand and figure out how I can work through any problem that causes my anxiety or depression.
Seeing Dr Lau is an amazing spirit journey for me. I learnt a lot about how to listen to the real me, live with my fear, and align my mind, heart, and body and so many more. Not only she gives me medication suggestion, but also teaches me how to conquer things by myself. Self development, enhancement, rebuilds, awakening is hard but essential in our lives and I’m extremely grateful to have Dr Lau be my guide.
I’ve greatly benefited in my short time with Samantha. She’s excellent not only in therapy but with medication management, especially with someone who was skeptical and anxious trying a medicated psychiatric approach to mental health. She allows me to express myself in session and then incorporates mindfulness activities and digital media to help build tools that’ve helped me improve my relationships to people, substances and myself.
My sessions with Samantha Lau have been truly a blessing. She has helped me in heal in areas I’ve been stuck for years. Forever grateful. Many thanks, F.E.
