Caity O'Keefe - Registered Social Worker (virtual)
About Caity.....
Virtually supporting children as young as 6 years, teens and adults.
My name is Caity and I am a Registered Social Worker. I have been working with children and their families for 15+ years and have been honoured to be a part of positive change in their lives.
Lots of my work has been with children between the ages of 5-12 but I have also supported many parents, families, and youth.
I believe in connection and the importance of building strong therapeutic relationships as a tool for creating change. Working together, from a client centred approach, allows me to support folks in working through their unique challenges and breaking down barriers to wellness. My hope is always to be able to see my clients achieve a new way forward through developing new perspectives, coping strategies and tools for their wellness.
It’s amazing to see clients felt confident and empowered as they build these skills and tools!
I have my Child and Youth Worker Diploma from Niagara College, a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Social Development Students and a Bachelor of Social Work from Renison College (University of Waterloo) and a Master of Social Work from Dalhousie.
Continuously learning and growing is an important part of both my practice and my personal life. I strive to always be developing and building my knowledge, skills and abilities. As a lifelong learner, I have completed additional training and continue to seek opportunities for growth. Some of my additional training has included:
Children’s Mental Health
SafeTalk and Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training
Attachment Theory
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Play Therapy
Sandtray
Trauma Focussed CBT
Trauma Informed Practice
Single Session
Narrative Therapy
At home, I am a mom to 2 young children and love being outside, playing soccer and spending time with family.
