Shae Pugliese

My communication style

As a trauma-informed therapist, I understand that healing begins with creating safety. I ensure clients feel safe and supported during their healing journey by creating a non-judgmental environment, where they can express themselves freely.

My journey to mental healthcare

My decision to become a therapist was shaped by my own experience watching a close family member struggle with mental health and substance use challenges. Since then, I’ve been passionate about creating a space where people can talk openly, feel understood, and move through healing without shame or stigma.

My goals for you

Through a collaborative approach, I involve you in the goal setting process, ensuring you are supported and getting what you need. Whether you are navigating a life transition, healing from trauma, adjusting to motherhood, or learning to trust yourself again, I feel honored to walk alongside you in that process.

Our first session

In our first session, I’ll get to know you and what led you to therapy. We’ll talk about what’s been challenging, what you hope to change, and begin identifying goals that matter to you. You will set the pace as we start building a supportive foundation for our work together.
