Samrah Asif

Samrah is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who works with children, 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. At the heart of her work is the therapeutic relationship, which she views as an essential foundation for meaningful growth and change. She strives to help clients navigate challenges in ways that align with their values, strengths, and goals. Samrah has experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults with concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, emotion regulation, self-esteem, trauma-related concerns, life transitions, and neurodivergence.

Her clinical approach is integrative and draws from evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and person-centred principles. 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, Samrah tailors therapy to each client's individual needs while aiming to support self-understanding, resilience, and practical coping skills. She provides in-person and virtual therapy in English, practicing under the supervision of Dr. Julia Ryan and Samantha Davidson (Registered Psychotherapist).
