Written By Sarah Gencarelli

Clinical Intern, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

Samantha works with children (10+), teens, adults, and couples who are navigating life transitions, emotional challenges, and periods of vulnerability. She is drawn to this work by a belief that our stories matter — and that understanding where we’ve been can help shape where we’re going. With a background in people development and crisis counselling, Samantha brings a compassionate, steady presence to therapy and a deep respect for the resilience people carry, even in difficult moments.

 

Approach & Areas of Focus

Samantha works from a person-centred, trauma-informed approach and believes deeply in the importance of a safe, attuned therapeutic relationship. She values curiosity, reflection, and compassion and works collaboratively with clients to explore how past experiences, relationships, and life transitions influence their present-day patterns and challenges.

Samantha integrates evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy, and has completed Level 1 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy. She integrates these approaches thoughtfully, adapting her approach to each client’s needs, goals, and stage of life.

Samantha commonly supports clients with:

  • Life transitions and identity exploration

  • Anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm

  • Processing difficult or vulnerable experiences

  • Building self-understanding and emotional clarity

  • Strengthening coping strategies and resilience

 

Training & Experience

Samantha holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in History, where she developed a strong appreciation for meaning-making, perspective, and the impact of life transitions on identity. She is currently completing her Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University and is a qualifying registrant with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO).

Samantha works under close clinical supervision and is committed to ongoing learning and thoughtful, ethical practice.
