About Ilana Goldsmith

Ilana is a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW). She holds a Psychology undergraduate degree from the University of Guelph and a Master of Social Work (MSW) from Wilfrid Laurier University.

Ilana specializes in supporting individuals who have experienced trauma, including childhood and complex trauma, as well as those navigating anxiety, low self-esteem, perfectionism, and self-criticism. As a new mother, she is particularly passionate about helping postpartum mothers, offering a safe, non-judgmental space to address the emotional and psychological challenges of early parenthood.

Known for her warm and encouraging approach, Ilana views therapy as a space for growth and healing. She respects the courage it takes to begin therapy, drawing on her own experiences as a client.

Ilana integrates various therapeutic approaches to help clients explore the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, while also addressing how past experiences shape present challenges. She empowers clients to heal, build emotional resilience, and live in alignment with their values.

With extensive experience supporting post-secondary students, Ilana spent five years as a Counsellor at Centennial College, providing personal and academic support. Over the past decade, she has worked at various universities and colleges across Ontario, addressing accessibility barriers, mental health challenges, and student work-life balance. She is passionate about helping students rebuild their mental health and define their paths to success.

Outside of work, Ilana enjoys spending time with her family, chasing after her toddler and dog alike! She also loves playing and watching soccer, reading, watching Netflix, and playing the piano or guitar on occasion!
