Paris Shields
Hi there, I'm Paris. Are you struggling with self-defeating thoughts and destructive behavioral patterns that get in the way of you finding happiness? Do you find it difficult to manage your anxiety and find your calm?
Additionally, I am a Certified Meditation Teacher & Coach who is passionate about guiding and teaching meditation and supporting others on their path to developing and sustaining a daily practice.
I consider it a privilege to collaborate with people as they explore beliefs that keep them stuck. Together, we can get to the bottom of what's holding you back from living the life you so deserve. I will be there to help you not only identify the root of your concerns but also start working to do something about it. Whether you are struggling with loss, wanting to heal emotional scars from the past, having difficulty managing anxiety, lacking self-esteem and/or trying to get your life moving in a more positive direction, I'm here to help. Additionally, I am a Certified Meditation Teacher & Coach who is passionate about guiding and teaching meditation and supporting others on their path to developing and sustaining a daily practice. I look forward to seeing you on your journey to emotional wellness. I am available for sessions Tuesday - Friday. Unfortunately, I do not offer evenings and weekends.
First session
In the first session, I look forward to building rapport and really listening to my clients. I want my clients to walk away from their first session feeling heard and also having hope they have found a therapist they feel comfortable working with.
Strengths
Are you tired of overthinking? My biggest strength is helping others to manage anxiety. Let's find your calm. Additionally, Grief can be very difficult to manage and we are all different in how we experience loss. I am comfortable facilitating a space for you to cope with your loss. It can be scary, but we can face it together.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is someone who is ready to make positive changes in their life but may need support along the way. I enjoy working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, self-defeating thoughts, relationship or communication challenges, and difficulties with self-esteem and self-worth. I work well with clients who want to grow, gain a better understanding of themselves, overcome obstacles, and reach their personal goals. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can work through challenges, develop healthier perspectives and coping strategies, and feel empowered as they move toward the life they want.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I work with clients to help them identify and change problematic behaviors and thoughts patterns that keep them stuck. Together, we develop coping skills to help you manage your symptoms, and goals to move you forward.
