Hello, I am Gina Canerday, LCSW with over 17 years of experience as a social worker. I have experience in the school system working with special education and advocating for student's needs. For the past two years, I have been working in private practice, where I help individuals navigate life's challenges and improve their mental health. My approach is rooted in empathy, practical tools and a colloborative relationship to help support personal growth and emotional well being.
In your first session with me, you can expect a welcoming and non judgmental space where you will be heard and supported. We'll begin by discussing what brought you to therapy . any challenges or concerns you're currently facing , and what you hope to acheive.
My greatest strengths as a provider is my emathy and compassion, active listening and non judgmental approach.
My approach is best suited for those who seek a safe, non judgmental space to discuss their thoughts and feelings and that need need support with navigating life transitions.
In my practice , I intergrate Cognitive Based Therapy ( CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns that create emotional distress. I guide clients in recognizing cogntive distorions, reframing thoughts and utilizing coping strategies. This framework helps to empower clients and helps them to reach goals and a fufilling life.
