Dr. Faith Shank

Hello, I’m Dr. Faith Shank, a licensed clinical psychologist dedicated to helping adults navigate life's challenges with compassion, collaboration, and evidence-based care. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, insomnia, chronic pain, substance use concerns, stress, and life transitions. My goal is to create a supportive environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful, lasting changes. I earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Rowan University through an APA-accredited program and completed advanced clinical training within the Veterans Health Administration and integrated primary care settings. Throughout my training, I have worked alongside physicians, psychiatrists, and multidisciplinary healthcare teams to provide comprehensive care for individuals facing both mental and physical health challenges.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative and grounded in evidence-based treatments, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), trauma-focused interventions, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness-based approaches. I personalize treatment to your unique goals, helping you develop practical coping strategies while building resilience and improving your overall well-being. I have a particular interest in treating anxiety disorders, depression, trauma, PTSD, sleep disorders, chronic pain, substance use, health-related concerns, and behavioral medicine. My background in integrated healthcare allows me to understand how physical health and emotional well-being influence one another, enabling me to provide holistic, personalized care.

Whether you're struggling with overwhelming stress, adjusting to a medical diagnosis, managing relationship or work challenges, or simply looking to improve your quality of life, I believe therapy should be a partnership.
