Gain Saetern, LCSW
Director of Clinical Programs & Services

Gain Saetern graduated from UC Davis with a bachelor's degree in Sociology and Asian American Studies. She then earned a master's degree in Social Work with distinguished honors from Chico State before receiving certification as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Gain’s path to helping others started at a very young age, as she grew up in an environment that taught the importance of caring for the community, specifically elders. With over 11 years dedicated to the field of social services, Gain has served in a variety of settings, providing direct services to children with autism and to children from low-income households, supporting seniors in adult day care, and working as a medical social worker at a hospital in hospice care. All of these experiences helped her realize the joy of working with seniors and their families, which led her to become a Family Consultant at Del Oro CRC.  Because of her long-standing commitment to supporting others, it is no surprise that she fell in love with Del Oro and its mission, which is to support those who care for others. In her spare time, Gain enjoys traveling the world, discovering different cultures, and understanding people’s lifestyles and cuisines. She also likes to play board games, cook, go hiking and sing karaoke with friends.
