Getting to know Kristen Shane

Hi there! I’m Dr. Kryss Shane (she/her), and I’ve spent over 20 years helping individuals, teams, and organizations grow, heal, and embrace change. My goal is to help people feel seen, supported, and empowered especially those going through big changes and/or figuring out complex parts of their identity and how they interact with the world. You might have come across my work in The New York Times, CNN, ABC News, or Yahoo!, or maybe read some of my pieces in The Huffington Post and The New Social Worker Magazine. While I’ve had the privilege of working with businesses and schools on creating more inclusive environments, my true passion is working one-on-one and in small groups, where I can create safe, welcoming spaces for people to explore, heal, and grow. I’ve got three master’s degrees, two clinical licenses, and a doctorate, and I currently teach at several universities to help train the next generation of mental health professionals. But beyond all the credentials, what really matters to me is meeting you where you’re at with compassion, honesty, and practical support that makes life a little easier to navigate. Whether you’re dealing with a specific challenge or just feeling stuck, I’m here to help you move forward at your own pace, in your own way.
