Cher Canonizado BSW, RSW
​
Cher (she/her) is a Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist & Guide with 13+ years of experience in the field. Much of Cher’s work has included supporting individuals, and their family members, as they navigate the transitional ages and stages of the teen years and young adulthood. She also has a wealth of knowledge and experience in supporting folks struggling with addiction, self-harm, depression, anxiety, stress, anger, low self-esteem, and those coping with all kinds of abuse (childhood trauma, domestic and narcissistic abuse). She can help individuals, families, and couples navigate their relationships by working on improving communication and setting healthy boundaries. 

Cher believes that the foundation to any strong therapeutic relationship is good rapport and helping those she serves to feel a genuine sense of care and compassion. As such, Cher brings a very flexible, client-centered, and client-led approach to her practice. 💖

Cher offers support to clients as they consider, discover and develop their version of a happy and healthy life. This may include helping people gain new perspectives and strategies for addressing struggles with interpersonal relationships, facing difficult emotions, healing past wounds, and exploring and understanding one’s self in new ways.

She draws on a variety of interventions, theories and both lived and professional experiences to support clients well. This may include but is not limited to: interpersonal therapy, emotion-focused therapy, and mindfulness-focused therapy. Every approach is always trauma informed and from a strength-based lens. 💫
