Shaira Shah

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) whose life has traveled many paths (nursing, lawyer, hypnotist) before becoming a licensed Therapist and Certified Hypnotherapist. Those paths have given me perspective on life and the insight necessary to sit with someone experiencing mental and behavioral health issues in their lives and help them attain clarity with their situation. It is my professional goal to first create a therapeutic alliance with the client, and then to work with them to assist them in living the life they have always wanted to live. I specialize in Trauma, PTSD, Anxiety, Addictions, Attachment issues, Emotional Freedom Technique, Inner Child work, Individual and Group Therapies.

I approach therapy with the Client by meeting the Client where they are mentally and emotionally. My focus is on addressing the Client needs and their goals for therapy. Sometimes this involves assisting the Client in defining those needs and assisting them in setting their goals. My professional goal is to assist the patient in making personal progress in changing their lives in a positive manner.

Clients can expect their first session to be a "getting to know you" session. I am interested in what brings the Client to seek out therapy, what the Client is seeking to achieve with the therapy, and get to know the Client as an individual and person. The Client is free to ask me any questions they would like to know about me as a therapist and person. One of the most important goals that needs to be achieved in this first therapy session is "are we a good fit?", does the Client feel comfortable working with me as a therapist?
