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

I’m a registered social worker and psychotherapist who provides counselling in-person in Cambridge, and virtually 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 in my approach, while making space for the weight of heavier topics as they come up, all at your pace.

As a person (and a counsellor), I love rainy days, hot chocolate, fantasy, nature, and cozy video games, especially all together. I come from a big family, offer lived experience as a queer person, and am passionate about supporting individuals and communities.

“We don’t have to do all of it alone. We were never meant to.”
