About us
Samory’s Way was founded by Stephenie Williams in honor of her son Samory , who she lost in 2000. She understands the community, the population, and the families she serves because she was once one of them, and in many ways, still is: a grieving yet healed mother. She was a mother who struggled with confusion and self-blame for years. She battled suicidal thoughts and depression for over 15 years. She was a mother who found it difficult to take care of herself and her family, suffering in silence for 22 years. Yet, today she can say with honor and pride that her and her family have healed, and now she is working to help others heal as well.
Samory’s Way supports families and individuals in turning their struggles into hope and healing for themselves and others. We provide a safe space to share experiences and find peace, particularly after losing a loved one, such as a child. Our goal is to help you rediscover yourself and heal from the loss.
Our organization serves a diverse clientele as we operate without geographic borders. If needed we travel to assist clients with funeral arrangements and provide counseling to help them cope with the loss of their loved ones. Our clients are located in New York, across various states, and even abroad. What makes my organization unique is our ability to assist clients through wide array of in person and social media platforms.
Minister: We do this by supporting and engaging them while using God’s word to help them navigate life's challenges.
Uplift: We acknowledge our client's losses, recognize their pain, and support them in grieving healthily.
Support: Help clients recognize that it's normal to have negative feelings one moment and pleasant memories the next after a loss.
Therapy: We will use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Clients will first complete a psychological assessment to evaluate their levels of depression, anxiety, and denial, helping the counselor understand their needs.
Strengthen: Helping them process their grief allows for healing without becoming stuck.
Educate: We are dedicated to empowering our clients with the strength and tools they need to progress in a healthy and positive manner.
Empower: We empower our clients with powerful affirmations and impactful support, ensuring their success is our top priority.
