Getting to know Kalyani Shah

My name is Kalyani Shah, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's in Social Work from the University of Michigan. For the past 18 years, I have enjoyed working with adults, children, and their families to help them gain a better understanding of themselves and work through their problems. My approach My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client. However, I tend to use a mixture of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Humanistic Approach, as well as Play Therapy and art activities with children. My hope is that together we can explore the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors so you can better understand your true self. My focus While my approach is a good fit for all ages, I specialize in working with transitional age youth (TAY, 16-24 years) and children facing life challenges. With experience in diverse settings-including schools, psychiatric hospitals, community programs, and clinics-I aim to support you in working through whatever you are dealing with so you can live a happier, healthier life. My communication style I communicate in a calm, approachable, and patient manner. I provide a safe space for clients to share their feelings openly, listening with empathy and without judgment. My journey to therapy I decided to become a therapist because I have always known I enjoy helping people. Whether feeding the homeless, volunteering at hospitals, or supporting friends, I have a deep passion for giving back to my community. My goals for you When setting goals, I work with you to identify your needs by building trust and rapport. Getting to know you is essential so I can support you effectively. My first session with you In our first session, we will spend most of the time discussing how you've been feeling recently, with me asking questions to better understand your experience.
