Getting to know Amanda Shaw

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and my goal is to make that first step a little easier. Whether you’re feeling anxious or depressed, navigating complex family dynamics, discovering your identity, or simply feeling stuck, I’m here to help. I work with individuals, couples, and families, and I specialize in anxiety, trauma, depression, life transitions, neurodivergence, LGBTQIA+ identities, oppression, parenting challenges, and interpersonal conflict. My approach is client-centered, collaborative, and systemic. Tailored to your unique needs and goals. I want to empower you to take the driver’s seat in your own life. Above all, I strive to create a safe space where you feel heard, supported, and free to be your authentic self. My approach I use a systemic approach to therapy and view you as the expert in your own life. My role is to adjust and tailor therapy to meet your unique needs and goals. I often draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), experiential, emotion-focused, and collaborative therapy techniques. I believe in seeing individuals, couples, and families as a whole, considering the broader patterns, relationships, and contexts that shape their experiences. Together, we’ll explore what adjustments in your life, relationships, thoughts, or emotional patterns could bring relief and meaningful change. Whatever your goals may be, we’ll work collaboratively to address your concerns and create strategies that help you move forward. I also incorporate creative tools, including art, mindfulness, coping skills, and exploring family history when helpful. Above all, I aim to provide an unconditionally supportive environment while helping you stay accountable to your goals and work toward lasting improvements in your well-being.
