Shirley Binder

My communication style

My communication style is warm, calm, passionate, and caring. I am a good listener, intuitive, engaging, validating, and provide feedback as needed. I want my clients to feel seen, heard, and comfortable to share what is on their mind and in their heart. I provide a welcoming and nonjudgmental space in each session with a peaceful undertone.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been interested in self-growth, the nature of reality, wanting to understand myself and others better, and being of service to humanity in some type of way since a young child.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is about working together to discover what you want to accomplish in our time together. This often starts by building trust, feeling out the vibe, and getting comfortable with what it means to be in therapy. Over time, we'll work together to set goals and track your progress.

Our first session

What you can expect from our first session together is for us to spend the majority of our time talking about how you've been feeling recently, any symptoms you are concerned with, and anything else you feel is important for me to know. I will also ask questions to better understand some of why you may be feeling that way.
