Hi there, I'm Shamshad!

I listen attentively and help clients figure out what happened, what is most important to them, and how they want to be in the future. I believe we cannot live in the past, but we can learn from it.

My focus

I work with clients who want to be heard and also those who want to be guided or supported in doing better.

My approach

It is client-centered, trauma-focused, and wellness-based. Clients feel I understand them and help them get to where they want to be.

My communication style

Soft and open. I create a friendly environment where people can speak their minds, and I am their sounding board and interpreter. I give words to their feelings and concerns.

My journey to mental healthcare

I am a public speaker and a spiritual person. I was curious about ways to help people.

My goals for you

It is all about recovery and wellness. Goals are based on needs, and needs come from the client's description of their primary concerns.

Our first session

A friendly two-way talk. I start with current concerns and address the problem at hand first, making sense of it, providing psychoeducation, and teaching coping skills.
