Samantha Martin, MSW RSW
Registered Social Worker + Psychotherapist
Founder + Clinical Director
Hi, I’m Samantha (she/her) - therapist, mom of two, and founder of Full Circle Psychotherapy in Fergus. I truly believe in the healing power of therapy and feel deeply grateful to do this work.
If you’re feeling stuck in anxiety spirals, overwhelmed by the mental load, or navigating the identity shift that comes with parenthood - I get it. Whether you’re struggling with burnout, depression, or the invisible weight of trying to hold it all together, you are not alone.
I offer holistic, evidence-based support for adults (18+) navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the perinatal period, including fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood. I am Canadian Certified in Perinatal Mental Health (CC-PMH) and as a parent myself, I understand how isolating those seasons can feel.
My foundational approach blends Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Narrative Therapy, along with elements of Internal Family Systems, Polyvagal Theory, and Self-Compassion. Whether you’re looking for a structured plan or a more informal, conversational space, we’ll shape our sessions around what works best for you.
Outside of the office, you can often find me on a hiking trail, sweating it out at the gym or building countless lego towers.
I truly can’t wait to meet you. Book a free, no obligation 15 minute consultation call to get the conversation started.

My Full Circle Story

As cheesy as it may sound, this practice truly is a labour of love — and the epitome of a full circle moment.
My career began in geriatrics, working demanding agency roles during the day while seeing therapy clients in the evenings at a busy group practice. In my early 20s, the pace felt exciting. I loved the challenge, the movement, the feeling of building something meaningful. The long days felt invigorating — for a while.
Then I became a parent, and suddenly the life I had built no longer fit in the same way. I found myself craving something slower, more intentional, and more connected to the kind of life I actually wanted to live. I needed space to breathe. I needed work that aligned not only with my professional values, but with who I was becoming personally.
That shift led me toward supporting parents and parents-to-be — people navigating some of the most vulnerable, identity-shifting seasons of life. It also meant relocating my office closer to home and creating a practice that felt warm, grounded, and human. I wanted a space where people could exhale a little when they walked through the door.
And then, by complete coincidence (or maybe not), I found the very office space my midwives once called home. The moment I walked in, everything clicked. It felt symbolic in a way that’s hard to explain — like all the pieces of my personal and professional life had quietly been leading me here.
That’s where the name Full Circle Psychotherapy came from. A coming home to myself, my community, and the work that I love to do.
