Background

About Saamiyah A.

I’m a psychotherapist with a Master of Social Work & Master of Public Health. I have experience in both mental health community programming and frontline care. Grounding my work is the belief that everyone deserves access to care, and therefore I’ve devoted myself towards enhancing access and quality of mental health services for marginalized communities. I am passionate about building collaborative treatment plans to support diverse clients, children/youth, refugees, and racialized communities inclusively. My aim is to partner with clients who are experiencing psychosocial stressors, mood/anxiety disorders, behavioural addictions or other challenges and support them in their respective journeys. I strive to embody an anti-oppressive practice rooted in authenticity, empathy, openness, spiritual integration, and cultural humility. Within my practice, I try to integrate culturally-responsive tools and approaches to care.
