More about Shumona Shimi, LMSW

Are you feeling overwhelmed by your thoughts? Stuck in patterns that keep repeating in your relationships? Struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or intense emotions that feel hard to regulate? When your mind feels loud, critical, or chaotic, it can affect your work, your family, and your sense of self. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I provide structured, evidence-based therapy that gives you practical tools—not just insight. Together, we’ll identify the thought patterns, emotional triggers, and behavioral cycles that keep you stuck. You’ll learn concrete skills to manage anxiety, regulate emotions, improve communication, set boundaries, and respond to stress in a more grounded way. My work is especially informed by my experience serving veterans and individuals navigating trauma, high stress environments, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I value accountability and collaboration—therapy with me is active, goal-oriented, and focused on measurable progress. You won’t just talk about change; you’ll practice it. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Fordham University in New York City and have extensive experience providing evidence-based treatment in clinical settings. My approach integrates CBT for identifying and restructuring unhelpful thinking patterns, DBT skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, and a trauma-informed lens that prioritizes safety, empowerment, and resilience. Therapy is not about “fixing” you—it’s about helping you understand yourself more clearly and equipping you with the skills to build the life you want. If you’re ready to move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling capable, grounded, and intentional, I’m here to help.
