Getting to know Lee Shadeck
I received my master?s degree in counseling from Pennsylvania Western University, Edinboro, in 2011 and have been working as a counselor in higher education since then. I started providing online counseling more than five years ago and had the opportunity to perfect that skill over the pandemic.
I am the father of three beautiful, intelligent, well-adjusted, usually content, sometimes happy young adults, and I hold my job in helping them become good humans as my most valued purpose. I was married to the same woman for twenty-three years, since we were emerging adults, and understand that even with friendship, love, and respect, partnerships have ebbs and flows; sometimes relationships are just completed. I understand how difficult the loss of love can be but also know life can be great again after hardships.
I love the outdoors and am constantly hiking, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, biking, walking, or sitting by a fire. I believe in nature?s ability to restore the energy we give out and urge people to be outside, no matter the conditions, to recharge. I enjoy being creative and productive and often push my clients to unlock their creative potentials. I love starting and finishing home improvement projects. I enjoy reading and am passionate about music, although not musically inclined. I understand that even when doing everything ?right? and the things we love, life can still be difficult.
I consider myself an eclectic person-centered counselor who prides myself on quickly forming a therapeutic alliance and maintaining positive relationships with clients to enact changes, get through rough patches, reach goals, or just be ?happyish.? I am open, honest, friendly, and pretty normal. I will work closely with you to help solve your own issues, as I feel we hold the answers to our own questions.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit
for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want
to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be
that person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you
and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals
and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you
will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and
behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear
understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to
trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also
important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important
to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as
exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be
willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different
techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important
to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
