About
Hello, and welcome to my page. My name is Sam. I am a Registered Social Worker in BC and have worked in clinical and hospital healthcare settings for over five years. I am a cis-gender Sino-Vietnamese second-generation woman.
I have worked professionally supporting clients with various issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, HIV, people with mobility challenges, and those who have experienced psychosis.
I am neurodivergent and have first-hand experience navigating our institutional healthcare systems to seek and, through much trial and error, eventually receive care. I am passionate about supporting individuals who are on a similar journey, who are actively processing or questioning their own mental health in relation to a diagnosis. I am familiar with the process on how to request accommodations at larger institutions such as a public school or a unionized work environment.
I understand that mental health is not concrete; rather it is fluid, and our relationships to these terms are often re-defined as we go through different life stages.
What you can expect from my practice is a deep respect for autonomy, compassion, and genuine partnership.
My goals as a counselor include building self-awareness, guiding clients to develop effective coping strategies, and promoting healthy behaviours that are aligned to your unique set of values and goals.
If you are interested in working together, please contact me at samantha@collectivehealing.ca to schedule an appointment.
