I believe that every individual has a unique life story that shapes the way they think, act, and feel. Exploring our uniqueness and making small life changes can help us become the best version of ourselves.

Samantha Devereaux is a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. She holds a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University, a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, and a Graduate Certificate in Addictions and Mental Health. Sam has a passion for person-centered therapy, with specialized training in Addictions Counselling, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR).

She’s also taken a deep dive into Gottman Method Couples Therapy and intensive sex therapy training, giving her the tools to support couples through all the beautiful, complicated, and hilarious moments of partnership. Sam is also the proud facilitator of Bringing Baby Home – The Parents Workshop by the Gottman Institute, helping new parents navigate the wild ride of babies, bottles, and big feelings with evidence-based tools.

At Läka, Samantha wears many hats – she’s a group facilitator, individual therapist, and all-around mental wellness advocate with a focus on anxiety, self-care, and addiction recovery. 

When she’s not in the therapy room, you’ll likely catch Sam barefoot in the backyard, chasing toddlers and chasing sunrises in the rural calm of Norfolk County. Her heart belongs to Lake Erie and the shoreline of Port Dover, where she once captained commercial vessels – and now captains the chaos of parenting with a yoga mat in one hand and a mini Australian Shepherd in the other.

Whether you’re navigating big life changes or just trying to remember the last time you had a quiet coffee, Samantha brings curiosity, compassion, and a down-to-earth approach to every session. Set sail on your journey to wellness — reach out to Läka Wellness today to connect.
