Student Clinic

Hello there!  My name is Caieta. 

( I am currently offering student rates for a session. $60.00 or less depending on financial need)

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
2SLGBTQ+ 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.

Hi, I am Sam Dubetz. I am Master’s of Social Work student at University of British Columbia and have over 20 years of experience in social service work. Much of my experience has been centred in working with members of 2SLGBTQIA+ communites and people impacted by the criminal legal system and mental health system. My client base has included people charged with murders, people confined to psychiatric units, and people living with chronic illnesses. It has also included people who worried that their concerns were not grand enough to justify reaching out for support. The common ground amoung all these people were aspirations to accomplish, overcome, and reclaim. Whether the issues drawing you to counselling feel small or insurmountable, I am a firm believer that absolutely eveyone is deserving of support.

I draw heavily upon Narrative Therapy which can help us make a deeper connection to our values, confidence, and resilience. My work is guided by a social justice minded and anti-oppressive framework, and I try to create a space that supports people in being the authors and experts in the stories of their own lives.

My approach aims to assist people in recognizing and accessing their own interal motivations and strengths as the basis for accomplishing their goals. 

On a personal note, I am passionate about cycling, skiing, and spending time outdoors. I am a pet caregiver and an avid cook of vegan and vegetarian food. I also appreciate time reading and playing video games old and new.

I believe it is important to acknowledge that I am a white settler who lives on the stolen homelands of the people of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ / Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. I believe in working to dispel myths, promote equity, and fight injustice.

I offer appointments at the Cloverdale clinic on Mondays and online virtual clinic appointments on Mondays and Tuesdays.
