Hi, I’m Dr. Shonae Mills, and I’m really glad you’re here. I originally went to school planning to go into medicine because I’ve always wanted to help people, but along the way I realized my heart was truly in counseling. I’ve always loved working with people and learning new things about others and myself, so when I had the opportunity to choose my path, I chose therapy—and I’ve never looked back. I earned my degree over 25 years ago and have been licensed in mental health for more than 20 years. My personal motto is, “How can I help?” and that question guides my work each day. My approach is collaborative and supportive, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help you build practical skills, focus on strengths, and feel empowered to create meaningful change.

I approach psychotherapy as a process of developing a deeper, more honest understanding of oneself. Many people are not only seeking relief from symptoms; they are trying to understand why they repeatedly find themselves in certain relationships, emotional states, conflicts, or patterns of behavior. My clinical interests reflect a broad curiosity about human behavior, including identity, personality, attachment, anger, shame, desire, self-control, meaning, spirituality, interpersonal conflict, and the ways our histories continue to shape our present lives. I enjoy working with people who are already introspective, as well as those who are just beginning to put their inner experience into words. My approach is informed by psychodynamic and psychoanalytic thinking, while also drawing from DBT, ACT, cognitive-behavioral approaches, motivational interviewing, and other evidence-informed methods when useful. I am interested not only in what someone thinks or feels, but in the deeper patterns beneath those experiences: what they fear, long for, avoid, protect, and struggle to reconcile within themselves. I also believe therapy can involve questions larger than diagnosis: Who are you becoming? What kind of relationships do you want? What gives your life meaning? What does discipline, responsibility, or freedom look like for you? Outside of psychotherapy, my interests include martial arts, physical training, philosophy, religion and spirituality, neuroscience, writing, and human motivation. Years of martial arts training have shaped how I think about change: insight matters, but growth also requires patience, repetition, humility, restraint, and practice. My style is engaged, thoughtful, direct, and curious. I aim to create a space where we can think carefully about experiences that may be painful, contradictory, uncomfortable, or difficult to admit. Ultimately, I see therapy as a way to increase psychological freedom so that old patterns do not automatically determine what happens next.

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, substance use, or simply feeling like you no longer have control over your life. You may know that you want things to change but feel unsure about where to begin. That is where therapy can help. I believe therapy should be a safe space where you feel comfortable being honest about what you are experiencing without fear of judgment. My personality is warm, compassionate, understanding, and straightforward. I will meet you where you are while also encouraging you to look more closely at the thoughts, behaviors, and patterns that may be keeping you from moving forward. I am here to support you, but I also want to help you recognize your own strength and ability to create change in your life. I have extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I also use different therapeutic approaches based on who you are, what you have experienced, and what you need from therapy. I understand that therapy is not one size fits all, so our work together will be tailored to your individual needs, culture, identity, strengths, and goals. Both my personal and professional experiences have taught me that healing is not always easy or straightforward. It takes honesty, patience, self compassion, and a willingness to do the work. You do not have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. You simply need to be willing to begin. Together, we will identify what may be keeping you stuck, develop healthier ways to manage life’s challenges, and work toward the life you truly want. We will work together to help you become more intentional with your life and mindful with your healing.

For the past 17 years, I have had the privilege of helping people navigate the complicated, messy, and often deeply meaningful work of understanding themselves. I believe therapy can be a place to slow down-to step outside of the noise and begin taking a more examined look at your life, your patterns, your relationships and the choices you've been making. My approach is grounded in the belief that our minds and nervous system are constantly trying to protect us. Many of the patterns that can leave us feeling stuck, anxious, disconnected or overwhelmed once served an important purpose. I am interested in helping you understand why these patterns developed, what they may be trying to communicate and whether they still serve you in the life you're living now. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and mindfulness practices. I don't believe there is one right way to do therapy, so our work will be collaborative and tailored to you.

Hi, I’m glad you’re here. I’m a New York-based therapist (BSW/MSW from Syracuse University) with a decade of experience, and the founder of the Clinically Petty brand. What does Clinically Petty mean? It means we take your healing seriously, but we don't take ourselves too seriously. It’s about creating a safe, virtual space where you can validate the small stuff, call out the absurdities of life, and ditch the pressure to perform or "be perfect." My practice is built for anyone who has ever felt "othered"—especially folks in the LGBTQ+ community, those exploring alternative relationship styles, neurodivergent individuals, and anyone living with trauma or anxiety. I don't sit back, nod silently, or hide behind clinical jargon. I combine evidence-based tools (like CBT, Narrative Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing) with real human connection, sharp humor, and zero judgment. We won't just analyze why you're stuck—we'll work as a team to help you break free from societal labels and build a life that feels safe, balanced, and unapologetically yours. My Philosophy: "Healed doesn't mean flawless—it just means you're wise enough to set your boundaries, laugh at the chaos, and protect your peace at all costs."

Hey! I'm Shay and I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York , Florida, Virginia, West Virginia and North Carolina and I specialize in anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I was born and raised in NYC. I serve individuals and couples between the ages of 18-60 who struggle with communication skills, boundary settings, family and relationship challenges among other challenges who are ready and willing to begin their healing journey. I work with people who feel stuck in their own mind—overthinking, second-guessing, or constantly on edge. If you’re dealing with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or OCD patterns, you might already know how exhausting it can be to try to “logic” your way out of it and still feel out of control. That’s where we take a different approach. I specialize in treating anxiety and OCD using evidence-based approaches like ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention), helping you gradually face fears in a way that actually reduces their power over time. I also work with high-functioning professionals and military members who are used to pushing through—but are now feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, or disconnected. My style is direct, supportive, and real. I’m not the kind of therapist who just nods—I’ll help you understand what’s happening and give you tools that actually make a difference. If you’re ready to feel more in control and less stuck, we can start there.

Overwhelmed? Trouble saying "no" to people? Do you sometimes feel like you're making decisions based on other people's opinions/wants/needs/expectations over your own? Are your feelings and needs getting neglected? Or maybe talking about feelings is just really difficult for you, as it is for most people. It's common to avoid communication all together because it just feels like conflict. I am an openly a queer person, running a private practice since 2021, but practicing therapy full-time since 2018.

When I say trauma work, sometimes people always assume the most extreme - but with all clients I find it beneficial to reflect on impactful or very painful past experiences and how it shapes our relationships and present-day life. I can offer you a better understanding and education of your body's nervous system, because the mind and body are connected, and trauma is held within our bodies. My goal is to work with you on improving self-awareness, understanding your automatic reactions, and having direct coping tools based on your specific experiences and mental health symptoms, so you can enjoy the present and feel more free and in control. I’ll help you identify your unmet needs and your emotions, and practice better communication and conflict-resolution often, too. However as educational, direct, and action-oriented I try to be, I also work from a place of compassion. Therapy is very vulnerable! I am ultimately giving you the space and time to get any current worries off your mind, and I try to always work from a place of patience, empathy, and flexibility, too. I've been in the client's chair many times, and I know exactly how important it is to feel free to talk without being judged.

I’m a licensed psychotherapist working with adults who may appear high-functioning on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally unsettled beneath the surface. Many of the individuals I work with are navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, self-doubt, or persistent patterns they can’t quite untangle on their own. My style is thoughtful, steady, and insight-oriented. I integrate practical tools for emotional regulation with deeper exploration of relational patterns and attachment dynamics. I believe therapy should feel both grounding and meaningful — a place where you can slow down, understand yourself more clearly, and begin shifting patterns that no longer serve you. Clients often describe me as calm, direct, and attuned. I aim to create a space that feels safe enough for honesty and structured enough for real change. My work focuses not only on reducing symptoms, but on building emotional clarity, stability, and more secure ways of relating — to others and to yourself.

I work remotely with clients in New York, New Jersey & North Carolina. Oftentimes, even the strongest and most resilient need a helping hand. If you're feeling unhappy, unfulfilled, angry, sad or simply feeling unlike yourself, maybe it's time you take the hand of someone else to help get you back to feeling like yourself again. Therapy can be intimidating, time consuming and even scary however I promise it is the best investment you can ever make in yourself.

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Depression, is filtering therapists in New York that work with patients with similar concerns.

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
