Therapy 121 Founder, Sam Fogarty.

Hi! I’m Sam.

I’m the founder of Therapy 121, a psychotherapist and yoga teacher for queer people who are ready to heal deeply and live an authentic, embodied, and meaningful life.

121 is my lucky number for a reason. I first found a sense of meaning and purpose in farming through 4-H. These four core principles (hands, heart, helping, and health) formed a foundational value system I continue to carry with me today. My first goat, Joy, was eartagged with 121.

I completed my graduate training in 2022 at Columbia University, with a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling and an Advanced Certificate in Sexuality, Women, and Gender in Psychology & Education (with an LGBTQ+ focus). Since then, I have attended trainings in somatic experiencing, internal family systems (IFS), polyvagal theory, and accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy (AEDP).

In spring of 2026, I completed a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Daya Yoga Studio. With a foundation of 10+ years of yoga practice, I deepened my understanding of embodied practice and nervous system regulation through movement.

Today, I am building Therapy 121 as a holistic wellness service, blending principles of psychotherapy, yoga, and wellness to promote regulation and encourage embodied healing. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to witness my clients’ healing journeys.
