Getting to know Seema Shah

Life is a work in progress, and progress isn't always a linear path. It's inevitable to have hurdles along the way, and we sometimes need support to better cope with these challenges. I'm a firm believer that you are the most important person in your life. You matter most-you are the star of your life story. I want to offer an empathetic, nonjudgmental, and safe space for you to process your thoughts and feelings, adding a bit of humor along the way. I want to be alongside you, helping you see your own strength and working collaboratively to cope with the daily hurdles of life. I tailor my therapeutic approach uniquely to each person, utilizing CBT, strengths-based, person-centered, and insight-oriented therapy, all through a culturally sensitive lens. I am certified in TF-CBT and Mediation, with experience working with complex trauma. I have over seven years of experience supporting adolescents, college students/emerging adults, adults, and families, including seven years in crisis management. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Dominican University and my Bachelor's degree from Roosevelt University. On a personal note, I'm a huge foodie, dog mom, dancer, and traveler. Dance has been part of my life for as long as I can remember; it has helped me feel free and has been a great coping skill. Finding a healthy, positive support system in a therapist can bring you closer to progress and the journey of loving yourself. That's why finding a therapist who is the right fit is critical for success in therapy.
