Tiffany Shaw, LCSW, LICSW — Therapist in Massachusetts

Hi there, I'm Tiffany!

I'm glad you made the first step to taking care of yourself. My aim is to support you, bringing awareness and clarity to your life circumstances. You deserve to embrace and live as your most authentic self. Let's take this journey together.

My focus

I'm here to support you in exploring the deeply rooted thoughts and events that have shaped behaviors, often in ways we may not fully understand. My areas of focus are family issues, communication issues, and trauma events weighing heavy on your heart. I help relieve stress and anxiety, guiding you to live on purpose and know your worth.

My approach

My approach is meeting you where you are so you can have the tools and resources to accomplish your goals or clarify your next steps. You have to be willing to be uncomfortable to reach your destination. I start where you are most comfortable. Receive the future you want by letting go, as I accompany you on your journey.

My communication style

I am warm and empathetic, creating a safe space for meaningful dialogue. I balance understanding with accountability, yet encourage vulnerability while offering wisdom and clarity. I invite collaboration and empowerment, gently guiding you towards self-awareness and practical skills to navigate real-life challenges.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have been a social worker for many years, working in child welfare, hospitals, mental health and substance abuse, hospice, schools, nursing homes, and assisted living. As a therapist, I am well-rounded with experience and knowledge in many domains. You are the expert of your own life. The client-therapist relationship is a partnership in healing.

My goals for you

You drive the decisions in your life. I am here to support you and move at your speed. I want you to feel and have concrete information that is practical to your life. You fly the plane and I'm your co-pilot. I will not allow you to take a nose dive but if you do, I'll ensure you place your oxygen mask on first.

During our initial sessions, expect that we discuss confidentiality and ensure your demographic and emergency contact information is correct. We begin building our therapeutic relationship.
