About Me

Monika Goetz, MSc, MSW, RSW (she/her)

I am a registered social worker and psychotherapist who provides in-person counselling in Cambridge, and virtual counselling across Ontario, for teens and adults. I also develop and facilitate workshops on topics near-and-dear to my heart. In all areas of my work, I aim to create a safe, cozy, and welcoming atmosphere. I also incorporate humour and lightheartedness, while making space for the weight of heavier topics. I look forward to working with you!

“You were born to heal, to grow, to be of service to yourself and community, to practice, to experiment, to create, to have space, to dream, and to connect.”

– Tricia Hersey
