Reema Samman
Registered Psychotherapist

RP

With over 15 years of clinical experience, Reema is a registered psychotherapist specializing in trauma, ADHD, anxiety, and borderline personality disorder. Her therapeutic approach is grounded in the deep connection between childhood attachment and emotional development, helping clients understand how early experiences shape their sense of self and relationships.

Reema believes that the body holds emotional energy from past experiences—and that healing begins when we learn to recognize and release that energy. “I help my clients identify the connection between their emotional patterns and the body’s role in storing those patterns. When the body begins to disengage and release, healing and growth become possible.”

She designs and implements trauma-informed treatment plans that combine memory reconsolidation and somatic techniques to reduce trauma-related arousal and avoidance in clients with complex PTSD. She delivers DBT-informed skills training and individual therapy for clients with BPD, improving emotional regulation and reducing self-harm incidents across caseloads. She also builds ADHD symptom-management programs integrating skills coaching, CBT strategies, and executive-function supports to increase daily functioning and treatment engagement.

Reema has led outpatient group therapy for polysubstance use, applying harm-reduction principles and motivational interviewing to increase retention and reduce high-risk use episodes. She also uses Solution-Focused and ACT techniques to shorten time to symptom relief and help clients clarify concrete, measurable recovery goals.

Reema’s sessions are collaborative and compassionate. The first session is exploratory and focused on building rapport and understanding acute symptoms. By the second session, clients receive a personalized treatment plan tailored to their goals and needs.

She is proficient in English, Urdu, Hindi, Punjabi, and Pashto.
