Ivonne Hammound (she/her)

Masters Social Worker & Clinical Director

I am the owner of New Moon Counselling, a registered member of the Ontario College of Social Work and Social Service Workers and hold a Masters of Social Work degree from Wilfrid Laurier University. I have over 10 years of experience working in the mental health field supporting teens, young adult, adults and couples. 

It is important to me that the therapeutic relationship be the right fit for clients, to allow for trust, growth and a successful therapy process; which is why I offer a free consultation to meet with me and see if I am the right fit for you. I dedicate myself to understanding client’s perspectives, experiences and goals, and meeting my clients where they are at. I tailor the treatment to fit with the client(s) and their specific needs, in an inclusive, authentic and down-to-earth manner. 

I grew up in the Waterloo Region after immigrating here from Peru, and enjoy visiting Waterloo Park with my kids, visiting the Public Library and enjoying some yummy food in Uptown. When I’m not working, I’m hanging out with my family by playing games, going/watching movies and spending time outside. I love reading psychological thrillers (currently loving anything by Lisa Jewel) and watching romantic comedies and superhero movie (usually Marvel Universe). 

I look forward to getting to know you, and help you navigate through this current challenge, so you can live your best life!
