Hi, I'm Shay. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Massachusetts. I work with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Outside of outpatient therapy, I run two structured programs. One program is to help clients increase their self-esteem in order to be the best version of themselves. I also run an integration program for adults with treatment resistant depression who are in ketamine/ esketamine treatment.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session, we'll start building a therapeutic relationship by getting to know each other more. We'll talk about your background, why you want to start therapy, and your personal goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I provide a safe space to identify and process past experiences, emotions and thoughts you may be struggling with.

Person-centered (Rogerian)
I take a person-centered approach to therapy which means putting you, your goals, your needs first! I create a safe environment to encourage self-exploration and increase insight. I will be asking you questions to help you have a better understanding of why you think and feel the way you do. Come with an open mind and know you are in a safe, judgment-free, therapeutic space.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT alongside all other approaches because negative thinking patterns always come up in therapy. I teach clients how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. I also teach clients how to challenge cognitive distortions or false thinking patterns.
