Sam Heinrichs

Sam Heinrich is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and author. Sam loves working with individuals, couples, young adults/teenagers, and families to assist with the challenges people encounter on this journey called life. As a gay person and as a survivor of childhood clergy sexual abuse, he understands the unique challenges and trauma, life can present to us. Having done extensive personal work on his own childhood trauma, Sam knows first-hand the complexities of recovery and reclaiming your life so you can move on to your full potential. Sam’s memoir, Though I Walk, not only shares his story but poignantly illustrates how childhood abuse is a lifetime of abuse. His memoir is an opportunity to share his survivor story in hopes of encouraging the much-needed conversation about what happens to our children when they are abused and later become adults who still feel that trauma. Though I Walk is a call to action to all who read it. We must do something to protect the children of the world.
