Getting to know Shirley Uyuni

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with individuals, couples, and families who are looking for support through life’s ups and downs. Whether that’s stress, relationships, anxiety, or just feeling stuck. My goal is to create a comfortable, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and start making meaningful changes. My approach I work with clients in a compassionate, collaborative way, meeting you where you are and supporting you at your pace. My therapeutic style is client-centered and rooted in evidence-based approaches, including Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I specialize in helping individuals work through trauma, anxiety, and depression, with a focus on building resilience and emotional well-being. My focus I work with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, and the effects of trauma, especially those who feel stuck in unhelpful patterns or overwhelmed by their emotions. Using a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, and mindfulness-based approaches, I help clients build insight, develop practical coping skills, and reconnect with a sense of calm and control in their lives. My communication style My communication style is rooted in active listening, empathy, and collaboration. I meet clients where they are, creating a respectful and nonjudgmental space that supports openness and trust. Throughout our work together, I offer thoughtful reflections and practical, strengths-based feedback, helping you process challenges at your own pace while building toward meaningful change. My journey to mental healthcare I was drawn to the mental health field by a deep interest in psychology, social justice, and a desire to support and educate others about mental wellness. Early in my career, I had the privilege of working with domestic violence survivors, children and families, and adults navigating major life transitions.
