Getting to know Shanae Maitland
Life can bring obstacles that may be challenging to navigate, and each situational circumstance is unique. I firmly believe in advocating for and working collaboratively with people from all walks of life, providing unconditional acceptance and a non-judgmental space. My role as a therapist is to assist each client in actualizing their goals and to provide support along their journey. I am a strong believer in offering my clients gentle compassion, as well as the tools and techniques they need to live a fulfilling life.
I specialize in meeting clients where they are and utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Person-Centered Therapy (PCT), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Existential Therapy approaches to engage clients during therapy sessions. I also provide Christian-affirming counseling for clients who would like to integrate their religion into their therapeutic journey.
I hold a Limited Permit to practice Mental Health Counseling in New York State. I completed my bachelor's degree in Psychology at York College, CUNY, as well as my bachelor's degree in Speech-Language Pathology at Brooklyn College. I earned my master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Hofstra University.
I have experience providing guidance, psychoeducation, and emotional support for various factors that affect functionality in different aspects of life. I have worked with individuals and groups who struggle with mild to severe cognitive, emotional, neurological, and physical disabilities. My goal as a therapist is to help clients through mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, panic disorders, relationship issues, stress, social phobia, eating disorders, grief and loss, and more.

What should a new client know about working with you?
All clients have confidentiality as a safe space is one built on trust.
I encourage my clients to feel free to be completely honest with me about interventions, psychoeducation, and homework's assigned. Everyone is unique, thus tools and techniques that works for one may not work for others. Also, I have experience with diverse backgrounds by understanding and respecting different cultures, however, I am a strong believer in collaborating to understand more in multiple cultures. I guide my clients as they actualize their goals, showing empathy and compassion.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Building rapport, ensuring understanding with a warm and non-judgmental environment, exploring the client's past and current situational circumstance. I foster understanding and validation of client's emotions, needs, and desires .Throughout this process I also assess and evaluate client's history, symptoms, and current situation to determine an appropriate treatment approach. Initial sessions always highlight therapeutic goals the client would like to work towards. I am a firm believer in my clients being a expert on themselves, therefore, collaborating to develop specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound goals is essential.
