My name is Shirley Shen. My theoretical orientation is primarily based on the attachment model, believing that the most innate and important need as a human is that of secure attachment. Disruptions in attachments impact patterns of behaviors through the lifespan and play out either consciously or unconsciously in everyday relationships.
Therapy is a journey to self understanding and awareness. My approach to your journey is to help empower your to make decisions that help improve the quality and fulfillment of your life and decisions.
My strengths are in dynamic, object relationship and interpersonal psychotherapy. The goal of therapy is to help guide and support patients in learning how to mend and recover from fractured family relationships, primarily through the corrective therapeutic relationship.
I see patients both in office and through virtual sessions. If you are unable to find an open slot, feel free to contact me through my page on PSYCHOLOGY TODAY and message me. I will get back to you as soon as I can, within 24-48 hours.
Languages that I speak include English and Mandarin.
