Charlotte Schwass, MSW, RSW

 Hi! I’m Charlotte, a Registered Social Worker who works with young adults (up to 29 years old).

Hi! My name is Charlotte, and I am a Registered Social Worker (MSW, RSW) that supports children, teens, and young adults ages 10–29. I provide warm, compassionate, and evidence-based therapy for clients navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and other challenges.

Anxiety and worry can quickly become overwhelming—affecting how you feel, think, connect with others, and navigate everyday life. Difficulties in friendships and family relationships can add another layer, leaving people feeling stuck, misunderstood, or unsure of how to move forward. You don’t have to navigate these challenges alone. Therapy can provide a safe space to better understand what you’re experiencing, build practical coping skills, strengthen relationships, and develop greater confidence in yourself.

What can you expect from therapy?

I draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), mindfulness, EFFT, and strengths-based strategies. Therapy is individualized to each client’s needs, goals, and preferences, with a focus on creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered.

My Experience

I hold a Master of Education from Queen’s University and a Master of Social Work from Western University, with a focus on trauma, school-based mental health, and child welfare. This combination of education and social work allows me to bring a holistic understanding of children and youth to my practice, considering their emotional well-being alongside their development, learning, relationships, and school experiences. My professional experience spans school-based mental health, child welfare, hospital, and community settings, giving me a broad understanding of the systems and challenges that can impact young people and their families.My experience spans school, child welfare, hospital, and community settings.
