“I had my first session with Ms Shallow, and I already feel a huge sense of relief. She is incredibly caring, punctual, and wise—able to understand and assess situations with a bird’s-eye view. I felt truly heard and supported throughout the session. She offered practical tools and advice that immediately helped me feel lighter, like I could finally breathe again. I left the session feeling clearer and more hopeful. I’m so grateful I found her.”

Getting to know Lois Shallow
Ms. Lois Shallow is a kind and empathetic adult psychiatric & mental health nurse practitioner. She offers virtual consultations through her private practice.
Ms. Shallow graduated from the University of Buffalo with a master's degree in adult psychiatric and mental health nursing. Her extensive training and experience enable her to draw upon a range of evidence-based psychotherapy techniques to support patients through their mental health challenges.

What should a new client know about working with you?
My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I take time to listen, understand your concerns, and explore how your symptoms affect your daily life. Together, we will develop a personalized treatment plan that may include medication management, supportive counseling, and practical strategies to support your mental health. During your first visit, we will review your symptoms, health history, previous treatment, and goals. I will explain treatment options, answer your questions, and involve you in decisions about your care. My goal is for you to feel heard, respected, and supported as we work toward greater stability and well-being.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our first session is an opportunity for me to get to know you beyond your symptoms. We’ll discuss what brought you to care, your mental and physical health history, previous treatments, and how you’re managing daily life. Together, we’ll identify your goals and develop a personalized treatment plan, which may include medication, supportive strategies, and recommendations for therapy. During follow-up visits, we’ll review how you’re feeling, discuss progress and any medication concerns, and adjust your plan as needed. My goal is for you to feel heard, respected, and actively involved in your care every step of the way.
