Getting to know Janice Shields

Thank you for taking the first step in your journey toward becoming a better you. My name is Janice Shields, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly two decades of experience working with adults and adolescents. My approach Using evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, TF-CBT, and other trauma-focused treatments, I will work alongside you to meet your mental health goals. My focus My ideal client would be open and willing to accept help. My communication style My communication style is encouraging but honest. I want to guide you to make the necessary change, but this will not always be easy. At times, it will be challenging, but I will be by your side every step of the way. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a provider was not easy. As a first-generation college graduate, I had to determine on my own what I wanted to do in life, and thankfully, God placed some amazing mentors in my life to help guide me to being a social worker. My goals for you I help patients set and reach goals by first identifying their short-term goals and tangible ways they can achieve them, and then identifying long-term goals. My first session with you The first will be a getting to know your therapist session. I will share my experience as a therapist and ask you to share what brought you to therapy.
