Samuel is a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapist of Ontario. He was conferred two degrees: a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at York University and a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University.
Samuel is a Certified Trauma-Informed Therapist who emphasizes helping clients explore and understand how traumatic experiences lead to the development of adaptive responses that help them cope and survive through difficulties in life but may no longer be adaptive in tackling their day-to-day challenges in the present moment. Samuel also assists clients with a better understanding of how previous adverse experiences contribute to the development of issues related to anxiety, depression, interpersonal relationships, emotion regulation, trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Samuel prioritizes a pluralistic approach. He has an extensive background in the application of Applied Behavioural Analysis to assist individuals of any age with Autism Spectrum Disorder in acquiring foundational social and emotion regulation skills through the modality of play therapy. Moreover, he specializes in and has completed certification in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and integrates techniques from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Solution Focus Brief Therapy, and Somatic Experiencing Therapy. Lastly, he incorporates psychoeducation based on the Neuroscience behind the brain’s neuroplasticity and neurocircuitry to equip clients with knowledge that helps them understand why they think, feel, and behave as they do.
Samuel recognizes the uniqueness of each client he works with and, as such, emphasizes creating an individualized treatment plan to address the clients goals. He aims to ensure the clients are physically, emotionally, and psychologically stabilized through the provision of a safe, non-judgmental, empathetic, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive therapeutic space that sets up both him and his clients for success. He works with children (ages 4+), adolescents, adults (ages 18 - 64) and older adults (65+).
Sam is fluent in English and Tagalog.
