Shany Shaji

My name is Shany Shaji, and I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. Prior to this, I was a registered nurse for 20+ years in various fields. I specialize in working with clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, adjustment disorder, OCD, women's health, and more. My goal is to provide a comfortable, warm, and non-judgemental space for my clients where they can express their thoughts and emotions. My expertise includes providing medication management and supportive therapy to clients who suffer from various mental illnesses.

My therapeutic approach as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner is based on a commitment to patient-centered care and the integration of evidence-based treatment. I believe that effective mental health care requires understanding each patient’s unique experiences, strengths, cultural background, and life circumstances. I tailor my care to meet the individual needs and goals of each patient. I maintain a nonjudgmental, unbiased approach while adhering to safe clinical guidelines.

During our first session, we will have a conversation focused on understanding your concerns, history, and goals for treatment. During this initial visit, I will ask questions about mental health symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and any previous treatments to gain a full picture of your well-being. We will discuss what you hope to achieve through care, and together we will begin developing a personalized treatment plan, which may include lifestyle and therapy recommendations, and medication options.
