Getting to know Shardae Collins

Hi there, I'm Shardae! I am a licensed clinical social worker who offers telehealth therapy to individuals residing in CA and MA. I support individuals in recognizing their strength and resilience regardless of the cards that were dealt to them. My approach I am certified in DBT. I typically use DBT with people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, or individuals who want to improve their relationships within their personal lives. I have completed level 1 BASIC EMDR training, and I am receiving ongoing consultation/supervision. I use this intervention to support people who may be struggling with trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and grief. I received 4 months of training in CBT interventions while employed at Rogers Behavioral Health Hospital. I use CBT to support people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, negative thinking, low self-esteem, and low self-worth. I received 4 months of training in Exposure Response Prevent therapy while employed at Rogers Behavioral Hospital. I use this intervention to support people who have OCD, anxiety, and phobias. My focus I support individuals who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, or trauma to rediscover who they truly are, cope more effectively with the stressors of life, and re-engage/rebuild relationships. My communication style I prioritize clear, direct, open communication to create a non-judgmental, non-shaming, and trauma-informed environment that will enable you to feel seen, heard, and valued during our journey together. My goals for you During our first session will focus on discussing your presenting issues, what you want to get out of therapy, and how I can best support you. We will create a plan to help you get back to living your best life.
