Accepting new adult clients. I integrate lived experiences of self and others with educational insights, employing relevant evidence-based methods to form the core of my practice. Committed to client-driven, strength-based therapy, I collaborate closely to customize approaches that transcend traditional talk-therapy, and can incorporate a more pragmatic focus.

I am a Clinical Therapist working with families and children, age 5-10. As school begins many issues kids put aside for their summer begin to resurface - peer pressures, bullying, learning issues, and self esteem. Children are often dealing with parental separation, divorce, remarriage and family deaths. Social media is a mixed blessing bringing children into contact with adult worlds - floods, wild fires, rising costs of everyday living; when we adults are concerned, our children are affected. No surprise, they are now experiencing high levels of anxiety, leading to moodiness, defiance, poor sleep and school problems.

People seeking support in navigating emotions, experiences, life transitions, or career planning—desiring a safe space for self-discovery. Proficient in English and French, I offer services in either language. Whether grappling with stress, trauma, personal growth, or diverse life challenges, clients value inclusivity and cultural sensitivity. Together, we explore these aspects, fostering resilience and emotional well-being

Hello! I appreciate you taking the time to learn about me and my practice. My name is Sam, I’m a Registered Counselling Therapist (candidate) with the Nova Scotia College of Counselling Therapists and a professional member with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. I believe therapy is a collaborative process and that success in therapy is often associated to the therapeutic relationship. In my practice I believe everyone has the inherent capacity for growth, empowerment, and connection to self and others. As such, I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where you feel seen and heard.

As a psychologist my primary commitment is delivering tailored treatment for children, adolescents and their families. I foster collaborative relationships with clients, guiding them toward their goals through evidence-based interventions. My specialization involves addressing youth challenges including tics, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, while also navigating co-occurring issues such as depression, relationship difficulties, and emotion regulation. In my practice, I am dedicated to supporting individuals and families in their pursuit of positive change, and I warmly welcome the opportunity to join you on your journey.

My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, relationship issues, communication, emotional expression and regulation, self-esteem, stress, and life transitions.

Dr. Silverman is currently accepting new patients for all types of psychological assessments. Dr. Silverman’s standard of care when it comes to psychological assessment is to make sure the patient feels empowered and has a robust understanding of their psychological data. He believes it is critical to patient care that everyone understands the control they hold over their lives and how they can use the help provided to make improvements based on their results. While patient history is important, Dr. Silverman relies more on number driven data obtained from internationally accepted norms, i.e.: Continuous Performance Test.

Welcome/ Bienvenue! I am currently accepting new clients and look forward to working with you on your therapeutic journey. Together, we can work towards overcoming the obstacles you are facing. I specifically aim to provide client-centred counselling services to individuals (18+) and couples, both in-person and virtually.

Family separations can be extremely stressful and difficult times for both parents and children, but they DON'T have to involve court battles, high conflict, or huge expenses.

I also offer Voice of the Child Reports to families involved in a collaborative law process or other family mediators.
