Walaa Kanan

Hello! My name is Walaa Kanan and I am a Licensed Social Worker (MSW, LSW) passionate about supporting clients on their journey toward healing and growth. I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, trauma, and addressing relationship conflicts and wounds, offering a space where you can tackle both deep-rooted challenges and day-to-day stress. Whether you're working through a major life transition, coping with life stressors, or seeking clarity and direction, I’m here to walk alongside you. My approach integrates mind-body connection, recognizing how our thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations are intertwined. I can help you manage everything from overwhelming emotions to the subtle shifts that shape your daily experience.

As a Palestinian and second-generation immigrant, I understand the unique experiences and challenges that come with navigating cultural identities. My work is grounded in cultural competence, focusing on supporting minorities, as well as first- and second-generation immigrant populations. I create a space where clients can explore their experiences in the context of broader societal challenges while still feeling connected to their personal stories. I understand the importance of honoring each person’s spiritual and cultural beliefs, and can incorporate these aspects into our sessions if that feels important to you.

I work with adults (18+) and provide therapy for individuals, couples, and families. My approach is warm, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs. Together, we’ll explore how to navigate life’s difficulties and develop tools to help you live with more clarity and confidence. You will feel seen, heard, and empowered to reach your goals. Let’s work together to foster meaningful change and growth.
