Samantha Laferté, sexologist
Samantha has been a sexologist since 2017. She first graduated from Université de Montréal in psychology in 2012. Then, she honed her skills with a certificate in mental health in 2013. In November 2012, she joined the CIUSSS Centre-sud-de-l'île-de-Montréal, youth program, as a specialized educator. She realized that young people in difficulty had a great need for knowledge about interpersonal relationships, emotions and the discovery of healthy sexuality.
She therefore returned to school to complete a bachelor's degree in sexology from 2014 to 2017, which enabled her to acquire the title of sexologist member of the Ordre professionnel des sexologues du Québec. She enthusiastically accepted a contract as a sexologist for the public health department of the CISSS de Laval in December 2017, with the objective of improving the sexual health of young people aged 15-24 through screening for STBBIs. Subsequently, she joined a team of nurses treating STIs in vulnerable populations and providing psychosocial support to this same clientele.
In May 2020, Samantha opened her private practice through Zoom, open to all clienteles. Since April 2023, she has been welcoming clients in person. She works with a cognitive-behavioral approach. She shares her clinical time with the sexuality education workshops she offers in Quebec schools.
