Meet Salvatore (Sammy)

Salvatore (Sammy) is a warm, thoughtful, and collaborative therapist who values creating a safe, respectful space where clients feel heard and understood. He holds an Honours Bachelor of Applied Sciences in Psychology and Human Behaviour and is currently completing a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counselling. Sammy works to support clients through concerns such as anxiety, stress, identity exploration, life transitions, self-esteem, interpersonal challenges, and more.

 

Sammy believes that the therapeutic relationship is the foundation of meaningful change. He approaches counselling with curiousity, empathy, and authenticity, taking time to understand each client's unique experiences, values, and goals. His work is client-centred and collaborative, drawing from cognitive behavioural therapy and strengths-based approaches, while integrating additional strategies as needed. Sammy aims to help clients develop insight, practical coping tools, and a deeper sense of agency both in and outside of sessions.

 

With a background rooted in behavioural science and real-world experience, Sammy understands the pressures of balancing responsibility, expectations, and personal growth. He approaches therapy in a non-judgmental and culturally sensitive manner, meeting clients where they are and moving at a pace that feels right for them. Sammy believes that growth does not require perfection; it requires honesty, support, consistency, and positivity.

 

Sammy is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario and practices under clinical supervision.
