RR Social Work

Description

My name is Risa Reisman. I am a Registered Social Worker who has had diverse professional experience working with individuals of all ages.

I received my Bachelor of Arts Honours in Psychology, with a Minor in American Sign Language from Carleton University in Ottawa, and a Master of Social Work from Yeshiva University Wurzweiler School of Social Work in New York City. I started my career working in the motor vehicle accident industry. This began my experience working with clients in their homes. Then I worked at the Canadian Hearing Society with individuals who were Deaf or hard-of-hearing. These individuals were living with mental health issues. My journey continued as a counsellor at George Brown College, where I worked directly with the student population. I supported these students with their mental health and everyday life challenges. My most recent position was at Bnei Akiva Schools, as the School Social Worker. I worked with high school students, staff and parents to create individualized treatment plans that built a foundation for positive growth.

I am very excited to launch my private practice and continue to provide mental health services to those in need of support. I believe that everyone deserves a chance to share their story and it is my mission to provide a safe space for those who choose to work with me. It would be my privilege to meet and get the opportunity to work with you.
