Getting to know Shardae L. Collins
Hi there, my name is Shardae Collins. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in California, Washington, Nevada, and Massachusetts. I have over a decade of experience working with individuals and families with various needs in education, health, and social services. For the past six years, I have worked with individuals and families across the lifespan as a Clinical Social Worker, providing therapeutic case management and individual therapy.
I hold a Master of Arts degree in Social Welfare from the University of California, Los Angeles. Additionally, I earned both a Master of Arts and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology, with an emphasis on inequalities and diversities, from California State University, Los Angeles. I have held numerous positions, including adjunct professor of sociology, senior research assistant, and clinical social worker.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I support individuals in recognizing their strength and resilience regardless of the cards that were dealt to them. My therapeutic approach explores your environment and lived experience to better understand your strengths, needs, and hopes for the future. I believe that you have the power to heal yourself. I am simply a guide.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

She makes me feel listened to, understanding of my issues, and acknowledges that I need to work on myself in my time (not based on the opinion of others).
