Getting to know Lee Shaw
If you would like the best support, someone truly emphatic, a good listener, someone who is seasoned and who is a great supporter, I am your man. I was promoted to the second largest clinic in the State of California, two years early. I quickly found out my true passion is not supervising a clinic, but WORKING WITH CLIENTS! If you suffer from depression, mania, Bipolar, PTSD, anxiety, substance abuse, I have years of experience successfully helping individuals/families like you. I love to work with kids/adults/couples/families. Spanish and English speaking. Insurance Accepted and discrete cash paying clients as well.
I provide evidenced based (proven therapies based on documented research), in modalities such as Cognitive, Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Solutions Focused therapy, Positive Psychology, etc.
I have worked with thousands of people needing support. I create a non judgmental, safe environment. I go at your speed. I build your trust.
What should a new client know about working with you?
When you work with me, you can expect a safe, nonjudgmental space where your needs and goals are the priority. My approach to therapy is both compassionate and direct—I believe in addressing issues head-on while providing the guidance and support you need to make meaningful progress.
Here are a few key things to know about our work together:
- **Experience You Can Trust:** With over three decades of counseling experience, I’ve worked with a wide range of individuals facing challenges such as PTSD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, substance use, and more. My background includes extensive work with veterans and those navigating complex mental health conditions.
- **A Personalized Approach:** No two people are the same, so I tailor my methods to fit your unique circumstances. Whether you need practical strategies, emotional support, or a mix of both, I’m here to meet you where you are and help you move forward.
- **A Direct and Compassionate Style:** I’m here to help you achieve real results. I’ll always be honest and transparent with you while maintaining empathy and understanding. My goal is to empower you to face challenges with strength and confidence.
- **Building Trust and Connection:** I value the therapeutic relationship and believe that trust and authenticity are the foundation of our work. You’ll find me approachable, down-to-earth, and deeply committed to your growth.
- **Focus on Action and Growth:** Therapy is a collaborative process, and I’ll guide you in setting goals and developing skills to overcome obstacles. Whether you’re managing a mental health condition, addressing past trauma, or building a better future, I’ll support you every step of the way.
Working with me means having a therapist who is genuinely invested in your well-being and success. I’m here to provide guidance, challenge you when needed, and celebrate your victories as you take control of your journey toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Here's what you can expect from a typical session with me:
Warm Welcome: Each session begins with a check-in. I’ll ask how you’re feeling and if there’s anything immediate you’d like to discuss or address.
Collaborative Focus: We’ll review your goals for therapy and decide together on the focus for the session. This ensures that our time aligns with your needs, whether it's processing emotions, exploring patterns, or learning new strategies.
Support and Structure: My style is compassionate, approachable, and directive. I’ll listen carefully, provide feedback, and offer tools or techniques tailored to your situation. Expect honest, real conversations—always delivered with care and understanding.
Skill Development: If appropriate, we might work on building coping skills, such as mindfulness, emotional regulation, or communication strategies. I believe in giving you tools you can use outside of therapy to improve your daily life.
Safe Exploration: You’ll have a safe space to explore thoughts, feelings, or challenges you’re facing, whether they’re related to trauma, anxiety, depression, or relational conflicts. I provide guidance to help you process and heal at your own pace.
Actionable Steps: At the end of each session, we’ll summarize key takeaways and set manageable action steps or goals to work on until our next meeting. This ensures continuity and progress in your therapeutic journey.
My goal is for you to leave each session feeling supported, understood, and equipped with practical tools to move forward. Every session is personalized, so whether you need deep exploration, skill-building, or a little bit of both, we’ll adapt to meet your needs.
