Getting to know Shanda Lazare

Hello There! My name is Dr Shanda Reynolds, LMHC I work with brave individuals across the age span who are ready to live in the present moment While our past builds us into who we are now, we are best served when we recognize the value of those experiences without using them as a gauge to determine our worth right now My approach I want you to tell me what is on your mind I want to hear how you view yourself in your life I am a trained listener and will ask questions to help uncover some of the core stories you use to evaluate yourself and those around you You are the one with the answers; sometimes we just have to find the right questions My focus People drawn to me often worry about the expectations they place on themselves and those projected onto them These individuals frequently feel isolated or misunderstood Concerns about identity and a desire to find more meaning in life are common themes My communication style I tend to be laid back I use humor and will challenge you when appropriate You always lead the session My nurturing style is often found soothing, and many feel comfortable sharing their stories with me as a safe and supportive guide My journey to mental healthcare I have always been driven to work with individuals on their path to self-actualization I believe we are here to help each other be our best selves I have learned that people appreciate having a companion on such a confusing and mind-bending journey I feel I was built for that kind of support With over 20 years in this field, I am passionate about the trust it takes to hold and protect your story You are the author of your story, and it is still being written Education and training I earned my Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Antioch University – New England in Keene, NH, and hold an EdD in Educational Leadership and Supervision from American International College My goals for you We work on goals by unpacking where you feel constrained.
