Sam Dubetz

Hello and welcome. My name is Sam. I am a Registered Social Worker with a Master’s Degree in Social Work from University of British Columbia.

Many of us find ourselves feeling stuck or overwhelmed. And so many people struggle with their concerns alone, whether they are in fact experiencing isolation or whether they are surrounded by other people. Some worry they might burden others, some fear what others might think, and some struggle to believe they are worthy or deserving of support. As a counsellor and social worker, I believe we all need substantial supports in our lives. Whether the issues you're facing feel small or insurmountable, I strive to offer a space where you can share your experiences without feeling judged or ashamed.

Many people feel stuck in patterns of thinking and behaviour that feel internally problematic without understanding the root causes. With decades of experience in the helping profession, I am well versed in the questions and supportive guidance needed to find these answers and move forward in a healing journey.

Some of my focuses include trans affirming practice / working with 2SLGBTQ+ communities, substance use, anxiety, depression, ADHD, suicidal thoughts, psychosis, chronic illness, men (or anyone) burdened by anger, people who have been labelled "treatment resistant".

I offer in-person and online appointments at Blackbird Counselling's Cloverdale clinic.  Book your free 20 minute consultation today by phone or email or through our online booking system.
