Samantha Prosper MACP, RP (Qualifying)

Hi there!

If you are reading this, you are probably taking the first steps towards starting your therapy journey. Take a moment and applaud yourself. This is no small feat, and you should be proud!

My name is Samantha, but you can call me Sam. I have always had a strong drive to help and understand others. I started my academic career with a focus on physical health in a BSc in Kinesiology, but later switched to psychology and knew I had made the right choice. While I loved learning about physical health, and still do, there was something so intimate and interesting about how connected our mental health was to our relationships, perceptions, behaviors, and environments. And even more interesting that while these all ultimately shape our experience, we have the power to shape them as well. I now have a Bachelor of Social Science in Psychology and Communications and have continued my education with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. I am currently practicing as a student under the supervision of Pamela Green (M.A., Registered Psychotherapist) and am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the CRPO.

I believe in a holistic approach, considering the self as a whole, and prioritize a strong therapeutic relationship rooted in trust and open communication. I also emphasize working collaboratively and creating a safe, non-judgmental zone, where clients feel free to explore, learn, and reach their goals. I am currently available to work with individuals ages 16+ who are looking for support in areas including anxiety, self-esteem, emotion regulation, stress, and relationships. I want to help guide my clients to a more positive and understanding relationship with themselves and others and help them to build self-autonomy and coping skills as they are ultimately the experts in their own lives. While I believe in tailoring my approach to each client, the modalities I use most to help achieve those goals are narrative, MBCT informed, EFT informed, ACT informed, psychodynamic.

If you have any questions, or you feel that we would work well together, please reach out to me at sam.prosper.ocp@gmail.com.
