ANDREW SIMMONS, MSW, BSW, RSW

Welcome,

I am Andrew Simmons. I am dedicated and compassionate with a strong desire to make a positive impact on individuals and communities. I have a deep understanding of the importance of holistic well-being. I am committed to providing empathetic and culturally sensitive therapy sessions and I ally with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.

I have experience working alongside people who are experiencing mental health,  chronic health conditions, end-of-life, grief and loss, anxiety, and depression. I have also worked alongside Indigenous and other BIPOC individuals. My practice is grounded in social justice and equity. 

With a warm and approachable demeanor, I am dedicated to creating a safe space where clients can express themselves and work towards their personal goals. I work to listen to your stories and concerns, tailoring each session to suit your unique background and circumstances.  

I share a genuine passion for promoting mental health and fostering meaningful connections. I will hold space for you with an open mind and a willingness to learn, continuously seeking opportunities to enhance your wellness. I am dedicated to empowering individuals on their paths to well-being.

Personally, I enjoy gardening, being in nature, and sharing time with my two beautiful dog.

Hello there! My name is Caieta. 

I am currently in the process of completing my Masters of Social Work and am excited to connect in a way that’s meaningful to you. My practice is guided by principles that embrace an embodied, client-centered approach to help facilitate change in a safe space.

With over 20 years’ experience working with individuals and families in a variety of areas, including MCFD, harm reduction health services, and community outreach, I’ve had the privilege of supporting diverse populations facing a wide range of challenges, such as trauma, anxiety, depression, sexuality, relationship issues, and family separations. I am allied with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and work towards offering a safe and brave space to heal. 

In addition to my private practice, I also have a contract with WorkSafeBC providing community outreach services to injured workers.

I have completed training in a variety of areas including programs related to Internal Family Systems (IFS Informed), Compassionate Inquiry (Suicide Attention Training), Neufeld Institute (Parenting and Attachment), Harm Reduction, and Motivational Interviewing. Starting in February 2025, I will also embark in a three-year training journey to obtain certification as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. 

One a personal note, I am a cisgender woman and a single mother to an amazing teen. In my free time, I love spending time in nature, dancing, and connecting with friends and family.

Whether you are navigating a specific challenge, seeking personal growth, or exploring deeper aspects of yourself, I am here to support you on your path towards emotional well-being and fulfillment.
