Samrah is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who works with children (ages 7+), adolescents, and adults. She holds an Honours Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Ottawa and a Master of Arts in Counselling, Psychotherapy and Spirituality from Saint Paul University and the University of Ottawa.
Samrah is committed to creating a warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental space where clients feel understood and supported. She strives to help clients navigate challenges in ways that align with their values, strengths, and goals. At the heart of her work is the therapeutic relationship, which she views as an essential foundation for therapy.
Her clinical experience includes supporting clients with anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, trauma-related concerns, life transitions, and neurodivergence. Her professional and research background also includes experience working with children and parents, with a particular focus on ASD and ADHD.
Samrah's approach is integrative and draws from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). Samrah also takes a culturally responsive approach to therapy and is committed to providing neurodiversity-affirming care. Recognizing that each person's identity, lived experiences, and needs are unique, she tailors therapy to each client's individual needs.
