ABOUT DR. WEISSROCK
Dr. Samantha Weissrock is a purpose-driven, organizational psychologist specializing in the challenges healthcare and nonprofit professionals face. Her career began in nonprofit advocacy, where she served as court liaison and senior paralegal for a court-appointed guardian organization, representing adjudicated incompetent elderly individuals across the state of Kentucky. That work established her foundational understanding of vulnerable populations, systems navigation, and the human dimensions of organizational failure and resilience. Her background in healthcare administration and mental health advocacy builds directly on that foundation, linking leader wellbeing to organizational sustainability.
