Samuel Kim

I received my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at Queen’s University. At Young Minds Psychology I provide therapy services to children, adolescents, parents, and families. I completed my pre-doctoral residency at the Toronto Area Residency Consortium (OISE at University of Toronto).

I believe that all youth deserve a feeling of belonging and connection within their family, peer, and school environments. I work to develop a deep, caring relationship with youth and their families as we work together on relevant and meaningful treatment goals. I utilize an integrative clinical approach drawing from various evidence-based treatment modalities (e.g., cognitive-behavioural, emotion-focused). I also take a culturally informed perspective when working with youth and families of diverse cultural backgrounds. I work with youth who experience mood/anxiety difficulties, behavioural/emotion regulation difficulties and neurodevelopmental differences (e.g., Autism Spectrum Disorder).

Prior to working at Young Minds Psychology, I held positions at Hotel Dieu Hospital, Toronto Catholic District School Board, Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board, Maple Family Health Team, Queen’s University Psychology Clinic, and the Family Psychology Centre. I have also held a teaching position at St. Lawrence College in Kingston, Ontario.
