About Sam
Hello and welcome.
My name is Sam Dubetz, and I am a Registered Social Worker with a Master’s of Social Work degree from University of British Columbia. I have over 20 years of experience in social service related work, primarily working with 2SLGBTQIA+ communities and people involved in the criminal legal system and the mental health system. I have worked with people impacted by addictions, violence, psychiatric diagnoses, as well as people who believed their concerns were not grand enough to justify reaching out for support. The common ground among all of 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 everyone 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 internal motivations and strengths as the basis for accomplishing their goals.
Please feel free to reach out for a free 20 minute consult.
