Paige Shadden

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who offers a steady, supportive space for individuals, couples, and families navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship patterns, neurodivergence, and life transitions. I integrate EMDR, emotion-focused therapy, and other evidence-based strategies to help people move through what feels stuck and reconnect with their strengths. I received my M.S./Ed.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Florida State University and my B.S. in Psychology from the University of Florida. I have experience working with adults, adolescents, and children, specifically those holding LGBTQ+ identities.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and tailored, shaped by a multicultural and trauma-informed lens that honors each person’s lived experience. I draw from EMDR, emotion-focused work, family systems, and attachment principles to help clients understand themselves more deeply and shift long-standing patterns. I also incorporate CBT and DBT to support practical skills, emotional regulation, and actionable change. Together, we create a path that feels personal, effective, and aligned with your unique needs.

Clients can expect a warm, conversational first session where I take the time to get to know you as an individual. I conduct a thorough biopsychosocial assessment to understand your unique experiences, background, and needs. Together, we’ll discuss goals for therapy and outline tailored recommendations to support your growth. My aim is to create a safe and collaborative space from the very beginning.
