Samantha Tamburro, Psy.D.

I am a licensed psychologist with over 26 years of experience practicing in Westlake Village. Having grown up in the Conejo Valley and raised my three daughter here, I feel deeply connected to this community. I provide a supportive and collaborative therapeutic environment for children, adolescents and adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, eating disorders, autism spectrum disorders, bipolar disorder, trauma, grief and loss, family conflict and school refusal. I tailor treatment to each individual, recognizing that meaningful progress comes from addressing each client's unique needs and goals. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which I integrate thoughtfully based on the client. When working with children and adolescents, I view family involvement as essential. I work closely with parents to strengthen communication, reduce conflict and support healthy dynamics, particularly during periods of separation and divorce. I believe strongly in working with the broader community involved in a client's care. When appropriate, I collaborate with schools, physicians, psychiatrists, dieticians, and other professionals to ensure coordinated and comprehensive support.
