About Samantha (Sam)

Industry-informed therapist located in Fernie, BC, serving the Elk Valley. Sam Usher provides practical support for stress, burnout, high-pressure work environments, and nervous-system regulation. Sometimes people avoid therapy because they picture sitting in an office being analyzed or not knowing what they’re supposed to say. That’s not how I approach counselling. Sessions feel more like an honest conversation than a clinical experience.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before showing up. You don’t need the “right” words, and you don’t need to pretend things are fine when they’re not. Whether you’re dealing with stress, burnout, relationship challenges, anxiety, life transitions, or just feeling off and disconnected, this is a space where you can slow things down and talk openly about what’s actually going on.

My practice focuses on virtual and nature-based therapy for people who may not typically see themselves in traditional counselling spaces, including those working in industry, shift work, outdoor careers, and high-pressure environments.
