Dalya Canon (Clinical Intern)

Hello, My name is Dalya. I’m in the process of pursuing my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northeastern Illinois University. I’m a therapist in training, and a mother of two girls. I grew up in the Middle East, and I speak Assyrian and Arabic. I worked in the past as an assistant teacher in elementary schools, and as a mental health professional in training at a children and adolescents center.
I strive to create a safe, comfortable, and nonjudgmental environment for my clients to help them achieve their goals in therapy. I choose therapy techniques that best suit my clients’ needs. My main approach is grounded in person-centered therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. I believe that a strong relationship between myself and my clients is vital to the therapy process.
