Carly M. Charron
PhD Candidate, MSW, RSW, BA[H] Psychology

As with many people who work in the helping profession, I was led here by personal experience and a passion to create a better future. 

After completing an undergraduate degree in psychology, I was drawn to pursue a master’s degree in social work because of the profession’s emphasis on the influence of an individual’s environment and other external factors on their mental wellbeing. This value system combined with personal experience and an interdisciplinary education allows me to bring an inclusive, compassionate, and non-judgmental approach to my work. Using a foundation of trauma-informed and strengths-based practice, I work collaboratively with each individual to identify a personalized counselling approach that is comfortable and effective.

I am currently pursuing a doctoral degree in social work at the University of Windsor, where I am researching barriers and facilitators to help-seeking for men. I am a firm believer that all people can benefit from counselling, and I am dedicated to creating a safe environment for people to work through the many challenges that come along with being human.
