Great to meet you!

Shaun Adams, LCSW has over 23 years of experience and specializes in working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, sex, sexuality, men's issues, and workplace challenges. His approach is non-judgmental and collaborative, utilizing mindfulness, CBT, self-regulation, and motivational interviewing skills to help his clients reach their true potential.

My approach to therapy

began my career as a social worker in Nairobi, Kenya, supporting women who were dying from HIV/AIDS. For 16 years, I worked in NYC with severely traumatized, formerly homeless individuals, supporting them to recover from their trauma, anxiety, and depression so that they could fully engage in life after homelessness. I then worked with severely neglected and abused youth aging out of foster care, providing intensive therapy and services to prepare them to attend college so that they could become fully self-sufficient adults.

What you can expect from me

I don’t believe that therapy always has to be a painful thing; I think that finding laughter and joy is one of the best medicines.
