Meet Our Team

Canei Adger, LMSW

Licensed Master Social Worker


I specialize in working with children and adolescents to help them gain a deeper understanding, heightened awareness, and valuable skills to manage a range of issues, such as anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, ADHD, and communication challenges.

My passion lies in making a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals and families as they embark on their therapeutic journeys. I believe in guiding and supporting them through the healing process.

My journey in the field of social work has taken me to various settings. I interned with the Department of Children and Families at The Albert J. Solnit Children's Center, where I provided treatment to adolescent males between the ages of 13 and 17 with complex psychiatric needs. I also worked with the Wheeler Clinics intensive in-home adolescent and psychiatric services (IICAPS) program. This program is a family-focused treatment initiative aimed at helping children and adolescents up to age 18 who have complex psychological and behavioral needs, either returning from or at risk for hospitalization or placement in a residential treatment facility.

Empowering You And Your Family On Your Healing Journey


In my practice, I recognize the uniqueness of each individual, and I utilize a range of therapeutic approaches, including but not limited to Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT).

I hold a master's degree in social work from the University of Connecticut, and I'm committed to continued learning and professional growth to better serve my clients.

Outside of my work, I am a firm believer in self-care, as I am passionate about promoting health in all aspects - physically, mentally, and emotionally. One of my personal joys is traveling and seeing the world through different lenses. I understand that self-care varies for each individual, and it's crucial to discover what brings you happiness and balance. Remember, it's about making your best effort, every day.
