Wael Shadid

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I hold a B.S. in Psychology from Arizona State University and a Master’s in Counseling from Ottawa University, with a concentration in the treatment of trauma, abuse, and deprivation. I’m here to help when your thoughts stop working for you and start working against you, when your values become difficult to apply, when you're stuck trying to survive rather than thrive, when the product becomes the focus rather than the process, and when that sense of fulfillment becomes elusive. I have years of experience treating anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, and addiction. I also have a focus in the support of medical professionals, lawyers, executives, and other high-performers. I'm fluent in English and Arabic, and provide a space where immigrant and first-generation clients feel deeply understood.

My therapeutic approach integrates acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and psychoeducation. I combine these techniques to provide a healing and empowering experience that supports enhancing overall performance. Additionally, I am EMDR trained and certified as a clinical trauma specialist.

The first session is all about getting to know you. We collaborate to better understand your history, the issues you need support with, and discuss how I can help.

If you feel it's time to heal, reach out. If you're feeling burnt out, reach out. If you feel it's time for self-actualization, reach out. You'll find that our talks hold space for catharsis, recovery, and personal growth. It's my privilege to support your journey. Please reach out for a free consultation!
