Samanta Lopez, B.Sc. (Hons)

Instructor Therapist

Samanta Lopez is a passionate Instructor Therapist at Launch dedicated to implementing effective, evidence-based, and individualised behaviour analytic intervention strategies of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) to increase desired behaviours and teach new skills. She holds a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Psychology and Health Studies from the University of Toronto and a Behaviour Science Technician Postgraduate Diploma from George Brown College. She plans to pursue a Master of Education in Applied Behaviour Analysis to become a BCBA.

Samanta has extensive volunteer experience with children and adults with developmental and physical disabilities at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, Toronto Rehabilitation Hospital and Princess Margaret Hospital. She has honed her application of skill acquisition and behavioural improvement plans through her internships at George Brown College. In these roles, she performed ABA under supervision and is excited to have the opportunity to implement and expand her knowledge of ABA techniques to positively impact the quality of life for children. In her spare time, Samanta enjoys hiking, playing piano, and dancing Argentine Tango and Salsa.


Dalton Associates (DA) and Launch Behavioural Health acknowledge that we are situated on Turtle Island, that has been inhabited by Indigenous Peoples from the beginning. As a settler-owned organization, we are always working on de-colonizing our practices and offering mental health services that reflect a wholistic approach to health and wellness. Our clients come from a variety of backgrounds, and include First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples. We want to do more than make a difference at an individual level: we aspire to support a societal shift in the way that mental health is addressed and cared for, and we believe that a cross-cultural approach, bringing Indigenous worldviews to the forefront, is necessary to help break the system and rebuild it in a way that promotes healthy wellbeing for future generations. We are actively engaged in changing the landscape of mental health care in Ontario, by augmenting (and compensating) the voices and experiences of Indigenous knowledge keepers, and by incorporating Indigenous values and teachings in our program models.
