ONLINE THERAPY IN OTTAWA AND ACROSS ONTARIO

Samantha Anderson

Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

Welcome! I'm Samantha. I know that reaching out for therapy can feel like a big and brave step, and I want you to feel supported from the moment we begin. My approach is gentle, down-to-earth, and centred on creating a space where you can explore what’s going on in your life without pressure or judgment.

Whether you're navigating ADHD or autism, feeling stretched thin by the mental load of parenting or caregiving, or working to heal from past experiences that still feel heavy, I’m here to walk alongside you.

I offer virtual therapy in Ottawa and across Ontario, so you can show up exactly as you are, from wherever you feel most comfortable. My hope is that our sessions feel collaborative, supportive, and genuinely meaningful as you reconnect with yourself and move toward the life you want.

What's It Like To Work With Me?

Working with me means having a space where you can show up exactly as you are and know that you’ll be met with care, honesty, and no judgment. I'll meet you where you’re at, whether you’re overwhelmed, curious, exhausted, hopeful, or somewhere in between. We’ll figure out what feels most supportive in each session, and we’ll go at a pace that feels doable rather than overwhelming.

If you're looking for a therapist who...

- Truly welcomes and affirms all parts of who you are

(including your cultural background, identity, and lived experience)

- Creates a space that feels safe, supportive and non-judgmental

- Shows up with warmth, realness, and just the right amount of humor

... then we might work well together!

Outside Of Work...

You'll usually find me in my gaming station in fluffy slippers, exploring open worlds in adventure games. On couch nights, I love watching Anime, old-school Kung-Fu movies, comedy specials (like Dave Chappelle’s!), and '90s sitcoms. As a Libra and ADHDer who values balance, road trips with my family to local provincial parks, to Dark Sky Preserves, guitar playing with friends, and running marathons keep me connected to the outside and grounded on the inside. I also love food, so I enjoy the feeling of fulfilment that comes with growing my own (when the Canadian weather tells me that I can)!

Think We Might Be A Good Fit?

I know that finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, so I do my best to make the process as easy and comfortable as possible. If you have questions, or if anything here resonated with you, feel free to reach out! I’m here when you’re ready, and I'd love to connect with you.
